在20世纪90年代，有两个因素对路易斯维尔大学（UL）医学院的晋升和终身教职过程产生了重大影响。临床报销下降，因为他们这样做，教师聘请为创收临床医生继续作为研究人员进行评估。此外，随着立法结束强制退休，问责制和证明继续胜任的要求有所增加。部分原因是需要承认服务和需要评估终身教职员工，董事会发起了几个雄心勃勃的倡议，统称为“教师的重新定义”。在这一保护伞下最终接受的政策包括采用欧内斯特·博耶定义的四种奖学金。然而，由于教师对这一倡议的其他方面的不安，博耶模型被采用的方式妥协，使治理文件站不住脚。详细介绍了UL医学院如何采用Boyer模型的困难，以及一些经验教训。尽管困难重重，博耶的论文中的概念并没有被放弃; UL医学院已经接受了在其新出现的治理文件中扩大学术视野的需要，例如，临床服务，以前不被承认为可推广的活动，现在被承认为这样。
In the 1990s two factors had a major impact on the promotion and tenure process at the University of Louisville (UL) School of Medicine. Clinical reimbursements declined, and as they did, faculty hired as income-generating clinicians continued to be evaluated as researchers. In addition, with legislation ending mandatory retirement, accountability and the requirement for demonstrations of continued competency increased. In part because of the need to recognize service and the need to evaluate post-tenure faculty, the Board of Trustees launched several ambitious initiatives that were collectively entitled “Redefinition of Faculty.” The eventual acceptance of the policies under this umbrella included the adoption of the four kinds of scholarship defined by Ernest Boyer. However, because of faculty unrest regarding other facets of this initiative, compromises in the way that the Boyer model was adopted rendered the governance documents untenable. The difficulties with how the UL School of Medicine adopted the Boyer model are detailed, as are some of the lessons learned. Despite the difficulties, the concepts in Boyer's treatise have not been abandoned; the UL School of Medicine has embraced the need for a broadened view of scholarship in its newly emerging governance documents in which, for example, clinical service, formerly unrecognized as a promotable activity, is now recognized as such.
