How do Mac’s criteria for granting tenure fit with the college’s mission?
Macalester’s mission statement says, “Macalester is committed to being a preeminent liberal arts college with an educational program known for its high standards for scholarship and its special emphasis on internationalism, multiculturalism, and service to society.” This places a clear emphasis on teaching that is supported by active scholarship, and those are the two areas that receive the most attention in all of our faculty reviews.
