Hi all,
First-year TT at a public R1 with a six-year clock. We submit via digital measures for yearly feedback in late September with our "up or out"/"mini-tenure" review being in year four. We get yearly letters from the P&T committee, department head, and dean in years 1, 2, 3, and 5 and a full meeting in year 4. I just got my Dean's letter for first year (based on work from July-September, so about ~2 months on the job. How appropriate or not appropriate is it to ask for a meeting for guidance to make sure I'm headed in the right direction, so to speak? Is that wise, or an annoying waste of the Dean's time?
