Tenure Perspectives: Tenured versus Nontenured Tenure-Track Faculty
Premeaux, Shane R.
Journal of Education for Business, v87 n2 p121-127 2012
The author examined a broad range of respondent perspectives on tenure-related issues in a survey of 1,583 professors at 321 Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB)-accredited business schools in all 50 states. Tenured and nontenured tenure-track university professors at AACSB-accredited business schools agreed that tenure is necessary. Survey results indicate that mean ratings for 9 of the 20 tenure issues investigated differed significantly between tenured and nontenured tenure-track faculty members, down from 13 significant differences in 2001. Basically, even though the groups disagree on the impact of traditional tenure on teaching and research, both groups now embrace traditional tenure. (Contains 3 tables.)
