Dear Dr. Shen,

I have completed my review of the necessary documentation and recommendation made by Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Candice Love Jackson, for your application for tenure.

I am pleased to inform you I will be supporting your application for tenure and promotion as a Professor in the College of Professional Studies, Division of Computer Science at Kentucky State University. The recommendation will be forwarded to the Board of Regents for action at their next regularly scheduled board meeting. You will be notified after that meeting of the action taken by the Board of Regents.

Any questions you might have should be answered by referring to the Faculty Handbook where the specific university policies dealing with tenure are outlined. Please use those policies and procedures as your guide. Sincerely,

Aaron Thompson, Ph.D. Interim President
