CAREER ADVANCEMENT
With the revision of Permanent Memorandum-69, the LSU Board of Supervisors conferred Promotion and Tenure autonomy to each LSU campus with highest approval authority for Promotion and Tenure determinations residing with the Chancellor. In conjunction with this decision, each campus is to institute its own policy, which governs the Promotion and Tenure process.
