Tenure Review Committee

A Tenure Review Committee is a group of academic professionals within a university or college responsible for evaluating faculty members seeking permanent employment status, known as tenure. They assess the candidate’s research, teaching, and service contributions to ensure they meet the institution’s standards for long-term commitment. The committee reviews evidence such as publications, student evaluations, and service records, then recommends whether to grant tenure. This process helps maintain academic excellence, supports faculty development, and provides job security for deserving educators.
