Tenure -- What is It? (Dennis G. Jerz -- Seton Hill University) At most smaller colleges, a faculty member's eligibility for tenure is determined by first by teaching ability, second by publication record (academic or creative, depending on what the candidate was hired to teach), and third by a combination of departmental service (participation in various faculty committees) and student advising. Tenure is a professor's permanent job contract, granted after a probationary period of six or seven years.

Reviewing Performance of Tenure-Track Probationary Faculty The department head (or the designated tenured faculty member or committee) prepares a draft report which states the faculty's recommendation, reports all votes taken, summarizes the candidate's file, and summarizes the reason for the action expressed at the meeting of the tenure faculty (including any minority views expressed at the meeting which had substantial support). The fact that a member of the tenured faculty has formed a view of the candidate's teaching, research, or scholarship during the course of the candidate's career is not a basis for disqualification. It is accessible to the candidate and to all of the tenure faculty in the department, while other portions of the candidate's personnel file are accessible only to the candidate and to those who have reason to deal with particular information contained in it. www1.umn.edu /ohr/ohrpolicy/Governing/review.htm   (5174 words)

Tenure-Track Program Tenure at NIH is defined as the long-term commitment of salary, personnel, and research resources needed to conduct an independent research program within the scope of the institutes' missions, and subject to regular review by the Laboratory/Branch Chief and review and approval at least every four years by the Boards of Scientific Counselors. The conferring of tenure in intramural research is a vote of confidence in the achievements and potential of the candidate, and the research support which is implied by that decision requires that it be made with maximum care. If a candidate is advanced for tenure consideration before six years have elapsed, and is denied tenure, his or her Scientific Director with approval of the ICD Director may re-submit the tenure application at a later date, but before the six year maximum. www.training.nih.gov /handbook/tenure.html   (3628 words)

Probationary Period for Tenure-Track Faculty The probationary period must be clearly specified in the faculty member's initial tenure-track contract. Tenure may be granted after the successful completion of a period of full-time probationary service of not more than six years. If through no fault of the affected faculty member, a tenure decision is not reached by the end of the probationary period, the faculty member's appointment will be extended until such time as a decision is made. www.siue.edu /PROVOST/FHB/7-16-7.html   (272 words)

The Tenure Track - Continuum Magazine - Spring 2003 - University of Utah In addition, tenured faculty in a department—who may be involved in traditional forms of research—must be able to recognize new fields of study, new teaching technologies, and new forms of interdisciplinary work, to name just a few, while maintaining the department’s standards of excellence for scholarship. Tenured and tenure-eligible faculty make up about 65 percent of all full-time faculty and about 45 percent of all faculty who are teaching in a given term. Though a cornerstone of higher education, tenure is a concept that continually generates controversy, often based on anecdotal evidence, misapplied comparisons, and genuine frustration about its unwieldy process and political overtones. www.alumni.utah.edu /continuum/spring03/tenure.htm   (2052 words)

Tenure and Tenure Track in NIAID, Division of Intramural Research, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disesases (NIAID), NIH Intramural scientists obtain tenure in one of two ways: (1) the scientist is recruited from outside NIH for a tenured position after having compiled an extensive research record at another institution or (2) the scientist enters a tenure-track position after extended research experience at NIH or elsewhere. Tenure at NIH consists of a permanent position and a long-term commitment of salary, personnel, and the research resources needed to conduct an independent research program within the scope of the Institutes' mission. If the committee recommends tenure and the Director, DIR, concurs, the request is forwarded to the NIH Central Tenure Committee, which is chaired by the Deputy Director for Intramural Research, NIH, for approval. www.niaid.nih.gov /dir/training/tenure.htm   (353 words)

NEA Higher Education - Tenure Others argue that tenure is vital to the protection of academic freedom and that without tenure we will return to the days when faculty were dismissed for teaching unpopular opinions. Some argue that tenure is an outmoded concept, and, if institutions are going to remain competitive, they need to be able to have more flexibility to hire and fire faculty as student needs change. Tenure is a topic that has produced much heated discussion in recent years. www.nea.org /he/tenure.html   (281 words)

Johns Hopkins Magazine -- September 1997 The non-tenure track was unofficially in place for many years (with ranks of instructor and research associate) and officially implemented in 1995 to allow hiring on a project-by-project basis and avoid the long-term financial obligations of tenure. Edward Miller on tenure's future in higher education: "There will be a reaffirmation of tenure as academic freedom, with a small portion of salary guaranteed, or a reaffirmation of tenure without guaranteed salary," he predicts. Stanley Gabor: "Historically there has not been tenure in continuing education because there have been very few full-time faculty." Though the full-time ranks in Continuing Studies continue to grow, Gabor says there remains no place for tenure within a division that is so market-driven and susceptible to changing interests on the part of its students. www.jhu.edu /~jhumag/0997web/tn-divs.html   (1261 words)

Change: A Half-Time Tenure Track Proposal An academic appointment with no possibility of tenure strikes us as the ultimate "mommy track." And it is. Women currently account for 36 percent of all full-timers, but nearly half of all part-timers (47 percent).

On the Tenure Track with an E-Book The fit between tenure and e-publication might be unproven at the moment, but according to early indicators, it is not necessarily uncomfortable.
