Reappointment, Tenure, CCE, and Promotion

Reappointment, tenure, Certificate of Continuous Employment (CCE), and promotion actions are governed by the City University of New York (CUNY) bylaws, the PSC/CUNY collective bargaining agreement and University and College policies. Reappointment, tenure, CCE, and promotion decisions are made on the basis of the candidate’s record of performance in teaching, scholarship (for full-time faculty in professorial titles) and service. The balance between these areas and, in particular, the numbers of publications, or for those in the studio or performing arts, the numbers of shows or performances, necessary for tenure and promotion is difficult to define given the differences between fields of study and types of scholarship. The College-wide Committee on Personnel and Budget (CP&B) is particularly interested in documentation of quality and excellence in all three areas of teaching, scholarship, and service.

Upon recommendation of the College and approval of the CUNY Board of Trustees (BOT), full-time faculty in professorial titles are granted tenure effective September 1 of the eighth continuous year of service. In the sixth year of a faculty member professorial appointment, he or she will begin the process of selecting external reviewers in preparation for appointment.

Baruch College also has a statement of criteria for tenure and promotion in the 2008 document titled “College P&B Guidelines,” which elaborates expectations in all three areas of research, teaching, and service.

The overall expectation is that the College “appoint, tenure, and promote individuals who will be intellectually independent and capable of fulfilling leadership roles in their fields and in the College.”

The candidacy of lecturers for the Certificate of Continuous Employment is based on the performance of their position responsibilities in the areas of teaching and, to a lesser degree, of service.

Lecturers are granted Certificate of Continuous Employment effective September 1 of their sixth continuous year of service and College Laboratory Technicians are granted tenure effective September 1 of their sixth continuous year of service. CCE requires four letters of recommendation, and can be both external and internal recommendations.

All College P&B recommendations are forwarded to the President for final disposition.

Interfolio

Beginning in Fall 2019 Baruch College launched Interfolio, an online environment to manage academic personnel processes for full-time faculty. Interfolio technology will facilitate faculty personnel processes online, greatly reduces the volume of paper, and make the review process significantly easier for faculty, administrators, committee members, Department Chairs, and external reviewers alike. Over the next two years, all full-time faculty academic personnel actions will be phased-in to the Interfolio environment. This includes: academic leaves, tenure and promotion, promotion to Professor, Certificate of Continuous Employment, Pre-Tenure Review, Clinical and Distinguished Professor appointments, and annual reappointments. Support and information can be found online at Interfolio and through the Office of Academic Administration in the Associate Provost Office for further information on this exciting process.

We in Academic Administration are here to support you and ensure a smooth transition to Interfolio.
