That is, I want it to be a clearly recognizable item in tenure and promotion decisions. Merely subsuming it under "Service" or "Teaching" often tends to devalue it in those circumstances, and it does not really acknowledge the unique way in which it combines those categories with a type of "Research" and "Publishing," albeit not in any traditional sense. What is the policy at your universities? Has anyone been involved in advocating distinct recognition of such activities? How did you sell it? Suggestions? thanks, Scott * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Scott G.
