What are the difference in expectations for 6 vs 8 year clocks?
The differences in expectations between 6-year and 8-year tenure clocks will differ somewhat by discipline, which is why we asked the faculty to meet with their area chair to document the differences in each case. More generally, however, the differences will primarily be a slightly higher expectation for amount of publications and a higher expectation for impact of the work (through measures like number of citations, invited talks, etc) since there will have been more time for the work to be disseminated to the larger academic community. –Dean Suzanne Shu
