View help for Summary
This codebook was developed to support analysis of promotion and tenure guidelines at a single institution, and specifically, the way that community engagement was integrated into policies.
The study examines promotion and tenure policy changes that occurred at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) between 2009 and 2017, with special focus on the years between 2010, when the policy changes were adopted at the university level, and 2014 when all units and departments had aligned with the university guidelines.
The study examines the policy text and the alignment among 59 department policies, 7 school/college policies, and 1 university policy.
The goals of the study were to gain insight into how units and departments revised policy language to integrate community-engaged scholarship, and the extent to which these articulations align with community engagement principles and practices per literature in the field. Guiding questions included, how, if at all, did units and departments define community engagement? How, if at all, were terms developed in the university policy transferred subsequently into unit and department policies? Is community engagement integrated into the three main areas of faculty work: teaching, research/creative activity and service? What are the disciplinary variations in the framing of community engagement?
The authors encourage other scholars to use, adapt, and extend the development of this codebook in their own scholarship and efforts to revise institutional policy.
