Criteria and materials related to librarianship can be found under the teaching section of the document in line with the Association of College and Research Libraries recommendation that all academic librarians have tenure track status and that librarian responsibilities contribute to retention. Since the library’s primary role is to support the teaching and learning mission of the university, librarianship will be considered under the category of teaching. The Writing and Library Science department supports the idea that librarians should be evaluated on the quality of librarianship in addition to traditional teaching duties. Additionally, librarians are all on twelve-month contracts and are expected to work during university breaks and summer; this affects time to conduct scholarship accordingly. Tenure Meeting Meeting the University timelines for Tenure review, the Department Tenure Committee meet for the purpose of considering the granting of tenure. See Appendix A: Unclassified Staff Handbook UW-Sup 3.06. The Department Tenure Committee consists of the department tenured peer faculty.
