“PEER INSTITUTIONS”
In 2010, the Provost stipulated that at least three external letters of
evaluation must originate from Peer Institutions. Candidates should
recommend several potential evaluators whose institutional
affiliations fulfill this criterion.
Peer Institutions have been defined as those appearing on the list of
athletic conference affiliates available in the university’s strategic
plan Making It Happen. Members of the American Association of
Universities are also considered to be Peer Institutions.
Aspirational peers (e.g., Oxford University) can be included.
“SUBSTANTIVE RELATIONSHIPS”
In 2010, these were defined as dissertation advisory chairs, former
instructors of graduate coursework, close collaborators in research, etc.
External evaluators should be encouraged to disclose relationships with
the candidate.
The unit administrator must justify any substantive relationships within
the biosketch section.
