Why did the report consider a part-time tenure track?
In current University policy, years of service either count on the tenure clock or they are excluded entirely. Another mechanism for increasing flexibility is to count years of service proportionately to the appointment fraction of the faculty member. The report recommends that the outer limit of the probationary period for faculty members with sustained part time appointments be 13 years. This is a similar model to other universities (like Stanford and Wisconsin) that adjust the outer limit of the probationary period for part time tenure track faculty.
