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.

We have also moved to a uniform electronic application format for Promotion and Tenure.  CVs and information usually provided for Promotion and Tenure applications are now digital.
