Abstract
This article describes a study that examined the way teaching is evaluated for tenure and promotion at Cornell University. After reviewing tenure files from several different colleges in the university and interviewing deans in the colleges, the author reported great variation among colleges in the kind of information that is collected and retained in tenure files. In addition to providing the results of the analysis of the files, the author identifies recommendations that were made based on the findings and discusses the role of instructional/faculty developers in assisting faculty in the documentation of their teaching.
