Abstract	Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to utilize the Objective Knowledge Growth Framework (OKGF) to promote a better understanding of the evaluating tenure and promotion processes. Design/Methodology/Approach: A scenario is created to illustrate the concept of using OKGF. Findings: The framework aims to support decision makers in identifying the challenges they face, encourages them to act on their tentative theories, and to be attentive to the outcomes. It requires a deeper understanding of the problem by shifting the spotlight to the teaching scores; multiple perspectives for reaching a solution; testing different options (solutions/theories) by seeking out information that challenges ones beliefs and biases so as not to overlook a viable solution; and ensuring a fair and just process. Research Limitations/Implications: Research can be expanded by developing an empirical research study and to validate the findings. Practical Implications: It is a high stakes evaluation that may result in unjustified dismissal. Originality/Value: The paper is original in that the tenure process has not come under scrutiny under a conceptual framework such as the OKGF. (As Provided).
