Tenure Track

Tenure track refers to a career path for educators, usually at universities or colleges, that leads to a permanent position, known as tenure. It typically involves a probationary period of several years during which the faculty member is evaluated based on their teaching, research, and service contributions. If they meet the required standards, they may be granted tenure, which provides job security and protects academic freedom. Tenure is intended to encourage scholarly work and innovation, allowing faculty to pursue ideas without fear of losing their jobs.
