UC San Diego Department Standards for Academic Advancement
Candidates proposed for appointment, merit, appraisal, and/or promotion shall be judged with respect to a candidate's performance in teaching, research and other creative work, professional activity, and University and public service as determined by the candidate's proposed academic series, rank, duties, and field of study.
Per PPM 230-220, acceleration proposals must address the department standards for normal merit advancement and articulate how the candidate’s performance is exceptional. In parallel with normal merit advancement progress, the criteria for both good and exceptional performance become more rigorous with rank and step.
Such proposals should address established departmental standards and articulate how a candidate's performance meets or exceed said standards.
