This starts out well, giving the departments the responsibility to develop all guidelines for area-specific promotion criteria. It becomes too micromanaging when it is says ‘Personal statement: A 3-5 page personal statement…’ The Union and/or central Administration should not specify a page number!
The faculty member should be required to provide ‘Student evaluations’ as stated in the draft.
