Supplementary Review File

The supplementary review file provides additional evidence relevant to promotion and/or tenure review.   

DOCUMENTATION FOR THE SUPPLEMENTARY Review FILE

Supplementary scholarship/creative activity materials (required if the faculty member’s appointment requires research or creative activity) 

The supplementary scholarship materials, which are provided by the candidate, present evidence of the candidate’s scholarship or creative activity and appropriate evidence of the candidate’s national or international recognition or impact, beyond the evidence already available in the CV. Because faculty can provide links in their CVs to published works, it may not be necessary to include copies of published works in the supplementary dossier. It is helpful to provide a list of works published during the review period (with links) in this section. It is permissible and advisable for the candidate to include works in progress, to assist reviewers in ascertaining the likelihood for future productivity and success. Such materials will typically be at an advanced stage. The most commonly included materials are manuscripts currently under review.  

Supplementary teaching materials (required if applicable) 

If the candidate’s review period includes courses taught prior to 2019, the pre-2019 student survey responses are included here by the department.  Aside from pre-2019 teaching data, the candidate may include teaching materials that are representative (not comprehensive) of their work. Candidates sometimes include sample course materials such as syllabi, exams, and homework assignments to illustrate their innovative approaches to teaching. Other materials, such as course websites, may also be included.  

Instructor Reflection Report (optional, Cognos)

The instructor reflection report is optional and can be accessed by academic unit staff through cognos.uoregon.edu, Team Content > Departmental Folders > Provost’s Office > Teaching Evaluation Reports.

Supplementary service materials (optional) 

Supplementary service materials, which are provided by the candidate, should provide evidence of the candidate’s service contributions to their academic department, center or institute, school or college, university, discipline, profession, and the broader community, if that evidence is not already in the CV or statement. Note that a candidate is not expected to have contributed service at all of these levels. Each candidate’s appropriate level of service will differ based upon their career stage as well as professional responsibilities as defined by the candidate’s job description and the unit workload policies.  

Most service contributions are listed on the CV or statement, so the service section is optional. 

Supplementary service materials might include documentation of service on university committees, elected bodies, advisory groups, task forces, and/or other activities serving the university's mission. Materials may also illustrate service to the profession and community, such as white papers authored or co-authored by the faculty member, commendations, awards, op-ed pieces, and/or signed letters of appreciation related to service contributions.  

The supplementary service materials may include a short narrative summarizing the candidate’s unique service experiences or obligations. Candidates may wish to comment on the significance and quality of their work and provide a rationale for the choice of examples in the materials, the significance of those choices, the role played by the candidate, and the amount of time devoted to service activities.  

Supplementary DEI materials (optional)

Faculty member engagement in activities that make the university a more inclusive place is usually documented in the CV or statement. The faculty member may wish to add additional documentation in this section. 

Curriculum vitae for external reviewers (required if external reviews are required) 

The formal request for external reviews should include a request for the external reviewer to provide a curriculum vitae (CV). Any CVs received in response to this request should be included here, not in the primary file, which should provide only brief biographical sketches of the reviewers. The Guides, Forms, and Templates webpage has an optional template for creating biographical sketches of external reviewers.
