Dear Andrew Hall,
We appreciate your patience as the tenure committee discussed your possible advancement to associate professor. All of us concurred that your contributions to the Science Department are invaluable, and we commend you for being selected as the “Professor of the Year”. Upon reviewing your teaching records, however, we’ve agreed to postpone your promotion at a later date.
You have many promising researches and projects right now, but we would be pleased to see more of your works published before we grant you the Associate Professor status. The committee is more than willing to reconsider your advancement next year but we are hoping that you can publish more quality papers and researches. Again, we congratulate you for your contributions to the department and may you continue to excel in your professional undertaking.
Sincerely,
Flannery
