The Questions of Tenure
Select Format
Select Condition 
Book Overview
Tenure is the abortion issue of the academy, igniting arguments and inflaming near-religious passions. To some, tenure is essential to academic freedom and a magnet to recruit and retain top-flight faculty. To others, it is an impediment to professorial accountability and a constraint on institutional flexibility and finances. But beyond anecdote and opinion, what do we really know about how tenure works?

I purchased this book as background material for a research project concerning the replacement of tenure-track positions with part-time faculty. It provided concise, relevant information and helped me get a grasp on the evolving tenure situation currently facing faculty in higher education. As the previous reviewer stated, I highly recommend it for anyone considering a career in the university-level academic setting.
