The following guidelines apply to the educational qualifications for tenure track hire at 69色情视频 of聽New Jersey.

1. Possession of an earned doctorate from an accredited institution in all fields where the doctoral聽degree is the terminal degree is required for appointment to a tenure track position. In聽interdisciplinary fields, the doctoral degree requirement may be met by possession of a doctorate in聽a related field or in an interdisciplinary subject. The faculty member has demonstrated preparation聽to offer instruction in a teaching discipline although the faculty member may possess the doctorate聽in another discipline.
2. In the event an individual is appointed to tenure track status without completing the doctoral degree,聽the letter of appointment shall clearly stipulate the date by which the terminal degree must be聽completed.
3. In fields where the masters or some other degree is considered the terminal degree for that field聽(e.g., the Master of Fine Arts or the Master of Library Science the appropriate degree will satisfy the educational qualification for tenure track appointment. Decisions regarding whether or not a聽specialized degree is the terminal degree for a particular field shall be based upon documented聽national or international standards, e.g., those set by professional associations or accrediting聽agencies.
4. Exceptions to the requirements of the earned doctorate or other recognized terminal degree may be聽made by the President in consultation with the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, but聽only upon the recommendation of the school and convening group. One or more of the following聽circumstances may justify approval of an exception to the requirement of the doctorate.
5. Exceptional individuals may be hired on tenure track status who do not possess the doctorate or聽appropriate terminal degree. Recommendations to hire individuals who do not possess the聽doctorate or appropriate terminal degree must be accompanied by documentation of the聽combination of formal training and scholarly work which provides clear evidence of scholarly or聽creative attainments equivalent to the level of a doctorate or appropriate terminal degree. The聽evaluation of academic background should consider pre- and post-doctoral fellowships,聽scholarship, professional certifications, academic honors received, formal training, creative work, or聽other pertinent attainments. The dean and convener will review the documentation of educational聽qualifications noted above.
6. Each recommendation to hire an individual on tenure track status shall include a review of the聽educational qualifications of the proposed candidate by the Office of Affirmative Action and聽Workplace Compliance for degree verification and the dean and convener for educational聽documentation.
