tells me there is another ghastly reason for their recommendation. The specter is that there is something nefarious at play here. Their hand was shown when they questioned with whom she collaborated in presentations or publications—Dr. Roger Cleveland and me. Do these folks not know how junior faculty become published—through mentoring and collaborative scholarship. Is Hershey and Blanchard's work minimized because they write together? What about Bolman and Deal? What about other scholars who publish together? Should they be penalized because they collaborate?
Dr. Emanuel’s letter of rebuttal aptly dissects the University Tenure and Promotion Committee’s decision and raises a haunting cloud on this decision. Those persons closest to her work and the needs of the School of Education have all recommended, without reservations, that she is promoted to associate professor with tenure. The University Tenure and Promotion Committee’s reluctance, in my estimation, is without merit. Therefore, the Office of Academic Affairs recommends promotion to associate professor with tenure for Dr. Stashia L. Emanuel.
If I can be of further assistance in the evaluation of this recommendation, please do not hesitate in contacting me.
