Historical Summary
The Advisory Committee on Appointments, Tenure, and Promotions (ATP) advises the President and Provost on academic qualifications of individuals for the purposes of appointment, tenure, promotion and other matters relating to faculty evaluation, recognition and development (Barnard College Faculty Committees website). The tenure process at Barnard College has faced widespread criticism from faculty members over the years. In 2002, the Ad-Hoc Faculty Committee on the Tenure Process was formed to address these issues--the major issue being that Barnard faculty have to go through the tenure process at both Columbia University and Barnard College, while the Columbia University Provost has the final decision of tenure of Barnard faculty.
