Policies on Tenure

Policies on tenure define the conditions under which a teacher or researcher gains permanent employment status at an institution. Typically, after a probationary period involving performance reviews, individuals can attain tenure, providing job security and academic freedom. These policies ensure that tenure is granted based on merit, research contributions, and teaching effectiveness, while also outlining expectations for ongoing professional development. They aim to balance protecting staff from arbitrary dismissal with maintaining accountability and high standards within the institution.
