This workshop is designed to give members of promotion and tenure committees the opportunity to explore strategies for reducing bias and increasing equity in the use of external review letters. Participants will have the chance to engage in interactive sessions and gain practical recommendations with a focus on the external review process.

During the workshop you will learn:

✅ Strategies for enhancing inclusivity and equity in promotion and tenure assessments

✅ Practical recommendations for navigating the promotion and tenure review process

✅ Guidance for external reviewers on providing constructive and unbiased evaluations

✅ Support for internal reviewers in recognizing and mitigating potential biases

Drawing from a critical analysis of 75 publicly available templates for requesting external P&T review letters, this workshop deepens your understanding of potential biases, particularly those affecting women and faculty of color.
