ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the tenure and promotion experiences of public affairs faculty members who are affiliated with universities of different Carnegie classifications, ranging from very high research to teaching-oriented institutions. Special attention is paid to describing the tenure and promotion process and its requirements, examining how and discussing why faculty members differ in meeting tenure and promotion requirements in the three areas of research, teaching, and service according to their gender, race, and the intersection of gender and race, and offering recommendations on how administrators, faculty, and institutions could ensure the success of their faculty members and make the academy more equitable and inclusive.
