A key question that campuses face as they develop and implement post‐tenure review policies is how to blend the concepts of accountability and renewal. This chapter examines a faculty development initiative linked to a post‐tenure review policy at a research‐intensive university. It describes the goals, processes, and outcomes of a five‐year study of the program, extending research on post‐tenure review and its potential for positive faculty development.
