Academic Tenure Review

Academic tenure review is a process used by universities to evaluate professors for permanent employment, known as tenure. This review typically occurs after a probationary period, during which the professor's teaching, research, and service to the university are assessed. The goal is to ensure that the individual meets high standards in their academic contributions and professional conduct. If successful, tenure provides job security and academic freedom, allowing professors to explore ideas without fear of losing their positions. It is a critical part of maintaining quality in higher education and fostering intellectual growth within academic institutions.
