Tenure: Traditions, Policies, and Practices.
Hutcheson, Philo
Review of Higher Education, v21 n3 p303-13 Spr 1998
Two recent books, "The Case for Tenure" (Matthew W. Finkin, ed.) and "Promotion and Tenure" (William G. Tierney, Estela Mara Bensimon) are important contributions to the dialog about college faculty tenure. Each contributes to but does not fill the professoriate's need for a defense of tenure that incorporates the tradition of principled support with nuanced understanding of today's context.
