Based on other evidence of highly recognized scholarly work and/or activities as outlined in the respective department's criteria for designating eligibility to teach 700 level courses and chair doctoral dissertations and previously approved through the School of Business Ph.D. Committee.

The candidate requesting consideration under Option 2 must submit a detailed case statement, supported by the department chair, describing the manner in which the work he/she has submitted for review satisfies the definition of basic research. The narrative should include evidence of citations, bibliographic information used to create submitted material, as well as a description of the way in which the presented work constitutes basic research. If the candidate is presenting his/her case on merits other than published basic research, he/she must clearly and extensively demonstrate how the provided work/activities represent excellence in scholarship and is highly recognized by the academic community.

Note: This venue is made available for the purpose of allowing faculty with an exceptional scholarly record that for one reason or another is not captured under option 1 but the emphasis continues to be excellence in basic research rather than applied or instructional research.

"Other criteria for doctoral-level designation will be identified by the departments and must be consistent with the mission of an AACSB doctoral granting institution." [Minutes of the Sept 17, 1997 meeting of the Ph.D. Committee] This eligibility option was instituted to allow consideration of cases where an individual does not qualify for designation by the criteria defined for Tier 1 & 2 journal articles, but has other significant evidence of basic scholarship. The other evidence might include, for example, authorship of a university press book or authorship of one article in a Tier 1 & 2 journal and another article not on the Tier 1 & 2 list but which has generated a significant number of citations.
