Quick Reference--The Integrative DEI Case
For external reviewers:
The balanced-integrative diversity, equity, and inclusion case is an option for faculty at IUPUI. IU as a system and IUPUI as a campus present a variety of tenure and promotion case options, including research-focused, teaching-focused, and this “balanced” option.
This case type reinforces existing academic values and those activities and accomplishments that strengthen our campus. Its major innovation is to make more visible, and acknowledge and respect in promotion and tenure, accomplishments that otherwise are often ignored.
This is the website with our internal information about how this case was developed; this was described in an article in the ADVANCE journal here.
This initiative was reported on by Inside Higher Ed, here.
It was analyzed in a white paper by KerryAnn O’Meara for TIAA (Enabling possibility: Reform of faculty appointments and evaluation.)
We ask external evaluators to consider the candidate's contributions to their school, campus, and university holistically. An external person may be more familiar with disseminated items (traditional articles, presentations) and not with the internal impact of the candidate's work. Please feel free to comment on all areas where you have an appreciation for their quality and their importance.
