barrons, the policy is quite similar in most universities that are comparable to UW Madison. I think very highly of my own colleagues there, as teachers as well as researchers. However, listing research in category (2) is purely for public consumption. A really bad teacher could lose tenure because of poor teaching. However, that would be “really bad” as judged by colleagues, and not by CC standards.

Generally, policies like this are more honored in the breach than in the observance, at least if you are thinking that items (1) and (2) are weighted equally.
