A one question multiple-choice test for SUNY students and the parents who (mostly) pay to send them there.
1. A teacher at SUNY is being considered for tenure. Which of the following should be given the
least weight in this decision.
a. The quality and effectiveness of teaching
b. The quality and effectiveness of advising and mentoring of students
c. Publication of six to eight articles on
early Christian, Byzantine and medieval art in prestigious, peer-reviewed journals
I know how I would have answered as a parent whose children graduated from SUNY-Geneseo and SUNY-New Paltz. And its the same answer I would have given as a faculty
member at SUNY-Oneonta.
Steve.

Subject: A cautionary note to young faculty
I suspect that this is unusual only in that the woman involved is going to court to sue the college.
This is must reading for young faculty.
