Should I&E activities be considered in evaluating merit and promotion reviews?

Moving scholarly discoveries into society at large is an important element of the university's mission. UC Regents Policy 5105, effective May 2021, explicitly recognizes innovation and entrepreneurial achievements among the criteria for faculty promotion/merit or tenure review process. An April 2022 memo from UCOP Provost Michael Brown lists representative examples of activities that might be presented in the review process under Academic Personnel Manual APM section 210 where applicable. The memo was motivated in part by Recommendation #8 "From Discovery to Societal Impact: A Roadmap to Unleashing UC Innovation and Entreprepreneurship."

In 2021, Science published an Innovation, Entrepreneurship, Promotion, and Tenure editorial, co-authored by UC Berkeley Assistant Vice Chancellor for Intellectual Property & Industry Research Alliances Carol Mimura. There is also a global movement, called Promotion & Tenure – Innovation & Entrepreneurship, to support the inclusive recognition of I&E impact by university faculty in promotion, tenure, and advancement guidelines and practices.
