Automatic Tenure Clock Extension for faculty with a new child in the family or who take extended family medical leave has been approved. The full detail is contained in the revised tenure clock regulation.

Any tenure-track assistant professor who has a new child in the family may request an automatic extension of the tenure clock. This applies to birth, adoption, or placement of a foster child, to both women and men. Also, if a faculty member takes Family Medical Leave of two months or longer, the tenure clock will be automatically extended.

In the case of a tenure clock extension, the faculty member will have the option to be reviewed in either the extended mandatory year or the year prior. Both years will be considered normal review years; i.e., not “early”.
