Assignment:
Review recent articles supporting or challenging the practice of granting tenure to faculty in higher education, including this 2013 article from The Chronicle of Higher Education, "Business School Offers Case Study for Tenure Debate."
In an initial post, analyze the rationale for tenure and its relationship with academic freedom, and provide an overall appraisal of the merits and shortcomings of tenure. Is there a way to have academic freedom guaranteed without tenure?
From your review of recent articles, has tenure achieved its intent, within the context of relevant institutional mission, values, and goals?
