By virtue of the clarification in points 1 and 2 above and with the four (4) years' credit for past work toward tenure from Provost Jackson (per her letter of June 14, 2017), I had met the eligibility for both tenure (T) and promotion (P) over two years ago, in the 2018-19 T&P cycle, and that is when I first applied for both T and P at KSU, and a final decision on that joint application was never rendered. This has been the basis of my current (2020-21) application for tenure and promotion.
May it also be noted that during the 2018-19 T&P application cycle, the then-Dean of the then-College (of Business and Computational Sciences) and the University T&P Committee, as well as the then-Chair of the School (of Business and Technology) and the Unit/School T&P Committee had all recommended me for both tenure and promotion. I provided these letters in my dossier, appended to the Cover Letter in Section III (“In 2018-19 Dossier”), Sub-sections 1, 3, 5, and 6 (highlighted) as follows:
1 - Letter from Unit(SBT) Committee
2 - Ban's_Response_to_Letter_from_Unit(SBT)_Comm
3 - Letter from SBT Chair
4 - Ban's_Response_to_Letter_from_Unit(SBT)_Chair
5 - Letter from CBCS Dean
6 - Letter from KSU T&P Committee
Due to the above reasons, I humbly appeal that you please consider me for promotion to the rank of Professor along with tenure.
I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you very much for your kind consideration.
Sincerely,
Swagata "Ban" Banerjee, Ph.D.
