Tenure Law

Tenure law refers to the legal framework that governs the rights of professors or teachers at educational institutions regarding their employment status. It typically provides job security, protecting them from dismissal without just cause after a probationary period. Tenure is intended to promote academic freedom, allowing educators to explore and teach controversial or innovative ideas without fear of losing their jobs. While it ensures job stability, tenure can also lead to debates about performance, accountability, and the balance of maintaining high educational standards. Overall, it aims to uphold the integrity and independence of academic work.
