<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">So far I have only received one comment (regarding external reviewers) from the faculty in the Department of Literature & Languages, and here it is:</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span>"I think external review letters should be required, but also, there needs to be clarity on when Department Heads solicit those and how often they might follow up to give enough lead time for them to be
written. I think 1-2 for tenure to associate, and at least 2 for promotion to full. However, it should be made clear that candidates/departments shouldn’t penalize a lack of response about a letter request against the candidate since that lack of response
could be indicative of many things, such as letter requests over summer months when many faculty might not be working."</span><br>
