Oklahoma – Extension Specialists are considered tenured faculty.  They all possess a PhD. The university system recognizes their academic title, assistant, associate or professor.  The Extension title, Ext. Small Grains Specialist, etc. is a working title.  They just go through the promotion and tenure process just like other faculty within their department.  In fact, they are housed in the appropriate academic department.

 

We do have a few using the title Ast or Aso Specialists. These are non-tenure track positions.  I cannot think of one with a PhD, most have an MS degree.  They do not go through a tenure process.

Subject: Tenure for Extension Specialists

 

Good morning all.  I’m trying to determine which institutions tenure extension “specialists.”   Would you please respond for your institution, and if you have the answer for any institutions outside of the southern region, would you please let me know that too?  Louisiana tenures extension specialists and for promotion and tenure review purposes, it would be helpful to know other states that do the same.

 

Hope you are all having a good summer.

 

Thanks. – Ann
