Regarding: Dr. Swagata Banerjee

Request for Promotion and Tenure

Date: January 29, 2021

Dear University Tenure and Promotion Committee:

After careful review of the candidate's outstanding dossier, it is my honor indeed to recommend Dr. Swagata Banerjee for tenure with the rank of Associate Professor.

The following supports my decision:

1. The faculty handbook states that faculty "may apply for promotion or full professor after ten (10) years of service."
2. Dr. Banerjee's signed contract with Kentucky State University granted four (4) years of credit towards tenure.
3. He has taught three years of Business and Economic Courses here at Kentucky State University.

According to the Kentucky State University Handbook, he may apply for promotion to full professor when he has completed the required ten years. The four (4) years credit outlined in his signed contract and the three years teaching in the Business Department serves as seven years towards his pending ten years.

I wish to congratulate the candidate and wish him continued success.

Margery Coulson-Clark, PhD

Interim Dean

School of Humanities, Business and Society
