  • Tenure Clock Extension
    11/2/2020 COVID-19 Tenure and Appointment Clock Extension Policy Published on Faculty Handbook (https://facultyhandbook.stanford.edu (https://facultyhandbook.stanford.edu)) Home (/) > Faculty Handbook (/index) > COVID-19 Tenure and Appointment Clock Extension Policy COVID-19 Tenure and Appointment Clock Extension Policy REVISED October 31, 2020 In recognition of the serious academic and personal challenges posed by the Covid-19 viral pandemic, a faculty member holding a tenure-accruing appointment is entitled to a one-year extension of the date (under the seven-year tenure clock) on which tenure would be conferred. This extension will normally have the effect of postponing for a year the initiation of the tenure review process. The Covid-19 Tenure Clock Extension, though it extends the seven-year tenure clock deadline, does not extend the ten-year appointment clock deadline except through an exception granted by the Provost for extraordinary personal or institutional circumstances. The Covid-19 Tenure Clock Extension is available to faculty members holding a tenure-accruing appointment with the exception of those currently in a terminal year appointment or those whose tenure-conferring promotion or reappointment process commenced prior to January 1, 2020, since the work to be evaluated was done prior to the current pandemic. Teaching relief is not associated with this extension. Effective October 1, 2020, this tenure clock extension will be automatically granted to eligible University Tenure Line junior faculty members (as defined above) whose faculty appointments at Stanford will begin prior by December 31, 2021. The extension is not available for faculty members whose tenure-conferring promotion or reappointment process has already commenced (with commencement defined as the date the department chair or school dean informs the candidate in writing that the review process has begun).

  • Paul Hanna at Stanford University
    4 Paul Hanna at Stanford University At Stanford University, Paul Hanna became a leading figure in American education. There he solidified his growing academic rep- utation and parlayed that reputation into entrepreneurial efforts that benefited both the university and himself. He established him- self as a writer and developer of school textbooks and as a consultant to school systems across the United States and around the world. Sometimes those interests overlapped. His entrepreneurial skills helped shore up Stanford’s shaky finances during the war years and enriched both the Hannas themselves and the friends that he brought into his business endeavors. While at Stanford, Hanna became intrigued with the instru- mental use of schools to promote democracy on a global scale. He served as a consultant to governments in many foreign countries and founded an institute to study education as a tool in international development and to prepare policy makers in its use. Ironically, this scion of democratic education came under fire from forces on the political right wing for his associations with progressive educators at Stanford and Columbia Universities. Hanna’s career on the Stan- Hoover Press : Stallones DP4 HPSTAL0400 04-01-:2 13:08:27 rev1 page 62 62 paul robert hanna ford faculty spanned three decades, and his association with the school lasted even longer. It culminated in significant bequests to various units of the university, although, curiously, not to its School of Education. hanna and stanford Hanna first taught at Stanford during the summer session of 1934. Late that summer, his wife Jean joined him in the West, and the two made favorable impressions on the Stanford faculty.

    Tam Kernewek “ A bit of Cornish” Volume 28 Issue 1 Spring 2010 Mineral Point Students Find Their ‘Twins’ from Redruth have come to Mineral Point in the years between those visits. The trips have com- bined heritage, history and fun into one attractive and effective package. Since the beginning of the student exchange program, approximately 50 youth from each side of the ocean/ ―pond‖ have had the opportunity to explore the homeland or the destina- tion of their ancestors. Typically the trips include several days in school or school related activities and tours of local and area historic sites and museums. Youth who have gone to Redruth, for instance, have visited places such as Gwennap Pit, Poldark Mine, Carn Brea Castle, Come to Good Quaker Church, the Eden Project and have an evening at Murdoch House where they are entertained, educated about the Cornish Migration and fed traditional Cornish Mineral Point became the destination for fare. large groups of immigrants from Cornwall in the early 1800s and of those and later immigrant groups a significant number came from the area of Redruth. Local cemeteries tell the story. Though many Cornish moved on to other areas of mining, even now about 30% of the population of Mineral Point can trace their ancestry to these early Cornish immigrants. However grandparents and great grandparents have passed on. A first priority of Twinning was to reestablish personal ties with their home (‗ome). In 1999 a Twinning Charter was officially signed by Redruth, Cornwall, deputy Town Mayor Chris Lawrence, Town Crier, Alan Jewell, Mayor Greggory Bennett and Glen Ridnour of Mineral Students at Gwennap Pit Point, Wisconsin, and all members of both Twin- ning Committees.

Hodges Interviews Conducted by Harriet Nathan in 1991 Copyright 1995 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the Vest, and the Nation. Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Albert H.

While the main hotel building is one of the most recognized and iconic grand lodges in the National Park system, the eight cottages that sit in the pine and oak groves immediately southeast of the monumental hotel building are less well­ known. These cottages, designed by architect Eldridge "Ted" Spencer in 1928, contain twenty-four guest rooms and comprise an integral part of the Ahwahnee Hotel's historical and architectural significance. The inclusion of cottages (commonly referred to at the time as "bungalows") in the Ahwahnee Hotel Complex was an essential component of the plan for the hotel to function as a resort hotel for wealthy visitors to Yosemite National Park.
