	A Tenured Professor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Tenured Professor (1990) is a satirical novel by Canadian/American economist and Professor Emeritus at Harvard John Kenneth Galbraith about a liberal university teacher who sets out to change American society by making money and then using it for the public good.
		Set at Harvard mainly during the Reagan administration, the plot and all the characters that appear in the story are entirely fictitious.
		The book chronicles the rise to fame of one Montgomery Marvin, a professor of economics who, as an academic teacher, keeps a low profile but who nevertheless is given tenure quite early in his career.

	Professor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The reason for the existence of tenure is the principle of academic freedom, which holds that it is beneficial for state, society, and academe in the long run if professors are free to hold and advance controversial views without fear of losing their jobs.
		Professor by courtesy: a professor who is primarily and originally associated with one academic department, but has become officially associated with a second department, institute, or program within the university and has assumed a professor's duty in that second department as well.
		Typically, such a professor may be invaluable to his university department in procuring research funding and/or in publishing scholarly works, and therefore the department would prefer that he not distract himself with teaching duties that are not directly linked to his research activities.

	FrontPage magazine.com :: Double Standards at Indiana Law: William Bradford and Robin Kundis Craig by Professor X
		This spring his formal application for tenure was denied by the IUPUI central administration, and when a "straw poll" vote on the probability of his future tenure was taken within the Law Faculty itself, it came out only 10-5 for Bradford.
		And there is more: having just been promoted to tenure as an associate professor this spring, she was then promoted to the exalted rank of tenured full professor this summer—after only four months as a tenured associate professor.
		Professor Mitchell is also a full professor, and indeed holds an endowed Chair of Law; she soon became another person who very publicly wanted Professor Bradford gone from IUPUI.

	Tenured Professor-Guidelines for Recommendations for Promotion or Appointment to Tenure Rank
		The rank of Professor should be awarded to those outstanding faculty members who show an ability to sustain high quality research and/or teaching and/or leadership that is widely recognized by their peers.
		These criteria and standards shall assure that the granting of tenure is based on evidence of (1) teaching excellence; (2) a record of professional creativity, such as research or other accomplishments appropriate to the discipline; and (3) service to the University, to the faculty member's profession, or professional service to the public.
		In most cases, in order to qualify for tenure, the candidate must demonstrate achievements that are judged to be excellent in at least one of the areas of research, teaching, or extension, and must have shown significant accomplishment in one of the remaining two areas.

	Johns Hopkins Magazine -- September 1997
		Professors who served a probationary period and were judged worthy of a tenured appointment by their institutions would hold that appointment until retirement--except on those very rare occasions when the university could prove "financial exigency" or "just cause" (frequently defined as the "four I's": immorality, incompetence, insubordination, incapacity).
		If you aren't lured elsewhere, you will be up for full professor and tenure in 10 years (a time period that can stretch even longer at the School of Medicine, where clinicians must find room for research amid their clinical duties).
		Tenure the wrong person and you're stuck with him or her for the next 30 years (or more, with the uncapping of the retirement age, see An aging professoriate).

		Not suprisingly, the touchstone for all the wild plot twists and hence, social commentary, is tenure.
		"Tenure was originally invented to protect radical professors, those who challenged the accepted order," says fictional Professor of Psychometrics Angus M. McCrimmon to the young hero of the story, Marvin.
		This realistic overcast to the sage professor's satire is disturbing, because when all is said and done, his comedy is biting, and its tone is fl.

		In fact, however, the official reason adjunct professor Pluss was shown the door was because he missed six classes without an excuse or attempt to make them up.
		Tenure is recognized in law and it simply isn't to be dismissed as lightly as you continually do.

		Pappe, who holds a rank roughly equivalent to a tenured Associate Professor, criticized the institution and its procedures following the nullification of a highly controversial Master's thesis that documented the fates of 5 Arab villages in northern Israel during the 1948 war.
