Yes
A brief description of the institution’s support for interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, and multidisciplinary research, including any positive outcomes during the previous three years:
The Faculty Handbook specifies that extra-departmental letters should be requested for promotion reviews, including (primarily) from interdisciplinary program directors. In addition, in meeting with tenure candidates at the beginning of the process:
Candidates are instructed to construct their list of potential external reviewers of their scholarship so as to cover all areas of their scholarship, and in the list of names submitted, to indicate what aspects of their work potential reviewers can address. This includes interdisciplinary and/or multidisciplinary work. The dean selects reviewers who can speak to the range of a candidate's scholarship, including interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary research. The Faculty Personnel Committee gives thorough consideration to all external letters, both disciplinary and interdisciplinary, in making its evaluation and recommendations for tenure.
Library Support
Yes
A brief description of the institution’s library support for sustainability research, including any positive outcomes during the previous three years:
