<b style="font-family:Aptos,Aptos_EmbeddedFont,Aptos_MSFontService,Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif">Abstract:</b> <span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Aptos,Aptos_EmbeddedFont,Aptos_MSFontService,Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif">Promotion and tenure (P&T) processes
in academia are widely regarded as critical mechanisms for faculty career advancement. However, emerging evidence suggests that these processes may function inconsistently, undermining their validity and fairness. Our work, grounded in quantitative social
science research, examines how structural barriers in P&T decision-making processes impact faculty, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds, despite formal evaluation metrics. Drawing on findings from a consortium study across ten universities,
we demonstrate that factors such as external review letter writer characteristics, dual appointments, patent ownership, and career interruptions (e.g., extensions) contribute to unintended P&T outcomes. Furthermore, innovation and entrepreneurship contributions
are undervalued, and joint evaluations, although beneficial for URM faculty, are not fully embraced by P&T committees. Our work further shows how external review letters are more strongly linked to who the writers are than to the candidate's productivity and
accomplishments. We use the research on external review letters to derive recommendations on how external review letters can be crafted in support of promotion candidates. By examining linguistic features in recommendation letters, the impact of faculty characteristics
and activity, and P&T decision-making, we identify intervention targets and elucidate evidence-based interventions to promote valid and reliable P&T policies and systems.</span><span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Aptos,Aptos_EmbeddedFont,Aptos_MSFontService,Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif"> </span></div>
