Due to severe disruptions in academic career progress imposed by pandemic conditions, the tenure probationary period will be tolled (paused) for one year for all faculty members currently in their probationary period and for all faculty members who commence their probationary period from this day forward for the next 15 months, through June 30, 2021. Faculty members also may choose not to use the extra time and proceed as expected prior to the pandemic, but please be aware that the end date on all tenure status forms will be automatically moved forward in time by one year.
