U. of Texas, with an Eye on the Legislature, Starts a System of Post-Tenure Reviews.
Magner, Denise K.
Chronicle of Higher Education, v43 n17 pA10-A11 Dec 20 1996
The Texas legislature is pursuing a bill requiring regular post-tenure performance reviews for college faculty, intended to weed out lazy or incompetent professors. Many faculty express concern about the bureaucratic aspects of such a move, and about its effectiveness. Some observers find currently-required annual reviews for pay raises to be ineffectual in assessing long-term scholarship and productivity. (MSE)
