SUNY Fredonia Handbook on Appointment, Reappointment, and Promotion (HARP)
This approach to evaluating scholarship—broadly defined—is valuable in understanding SUNY Fredonia’s view of scholarly and creative work in faculty reappointment, continuing appointment, and promotion processes. Regardless of the type of scholarship, these standards encourage faculty and committees to assess the quality of each contribution.
As a regional, public liberal arts institution, SUNY Fredonia values a wide variety of scholarly and creative activities, undertaken alone or with student or peer collaborators:
- interdisciplinary scholarship that brings together perspectives from two or more fields.
- community-based research (scholarship of engagement) that may include partnerships with others in addressing regional issues. (p. 26)
