Re: Unit Committee's Vote Relative to Dr. Philip Clay's Request for Tenure & Promotion
The Unit Tenure and Promotion Committee reviewed Dr. Clay’s dossier on Friday, January 15, 2021 for Tenure and Promotion at Kentucky State University. Committee members present were Ms. Sheila Stuckey, and Dr. Sunday Obi. The review of the candidate’s dossier was conducted according to University Policies and Procedures as set forth in the Faculty Handbook, Promotion and Tenure: Policies and Standards. Based upon our careful review and lengthy discussion of Dr. Clay’s dossier for tenure and promotion, from the rank of Assistant Professor to Associate Professor and for Tenure, the Committee makes the following recommendations: The Committee voted unanimously (2-0) that he be granted tenure at Kentucky State University. The committee also voted (2-0) that Dr. Clay be promoted to the rank of Associate Professor. Dr. Erin Gilliam, also a committee member, was not available because of other official commitments.
