ABSTRACT: An argument for redefining promotion and tenure criteria for faculty in new media departments of

today’s universities. 

Introduction 

Recognition and achievement in the field of new media must be measured by standards as high as but different from those in established artistic or scientific disciplines. As the reports from the American Council of Learned Societies[1], the Modern Language Association[2], and the

University of Maine[3] recommend, promotion and tenure guidelines must be revised to encourage the creative and innovative use of technology

if universities are to remain competitive in the 21st century.
