The criteria for the 2000 Consortium are as follows:

1. Each U.S. AACSB business-accredited school is eligible to nominate new tenure-track faculty, provided that the school or the new faculty member pays a $300 program fee (per attendee).
2. The nominated new faculty members must be in their first tenure-track position in accounting, with a start date no later than December 31, 1999.
3. New faculty must have successfully defended their dissertations. The defense must have occurred either before the new faculty started their first tenure-track position at the nominating school, or within 12 months after starting a tenure-track position at the nominating school. The defense date must be prior to December 31, 1999.
4. To be eligible for nomination, the date of the New Faculty Consortium must be within 20 months after the new faculty's dissertation defense date, and within 20 months after starting a tenure-track position at the nominating school. New faculty may attend only one New Faculty Consortium.

If your school's program is accredited by the AACSB, please use this form to list each of your new faculty members who began their first tenure track positions in accounting at your school since June 4, 1998 (20 months before the 2000 Consortium date) and who meet the requirements regarding the dissertation.

It was the consensus of the Executive Committee that criteria for attending the New Faculty Consortium require employment in a tenure track position and possession of a terminal degree (not necessarily in accounting) and that schools in the candidacy phase of AACSB accreditation not be included within the list of eligible schools.
