Wait is this why my university has so many lecturers that aren't technically professors?? So they can continue working without going through the tenure system?

My professor didn’t get tenured, and on the first day of class he said we were all getting an A, they couldn’t fire him twice 😂

A sad year after not getting tenure sounds like a humiliation ritual.

Had one professor who was extremely horrible to students who didn’t get tenure and it was amazing

One of my professors asked me to write a recommendation letter for their tenure and I took that more seriously than my own thesis. They were the best professor I ever had so I made sure it was perfect. They ended up getting tenure thankfully 🙏🏼

As Chair of the Tenure and Promotion Committee, I strongly encourage junior faculty to meet regularly with their assigned mentors. These meetings are vital to ensuring they stay aligned with departmental expectations and timelines for tenure and promotion.

More people need to understand, especially those who want to eliminate tenure, that if we don’t get tenure we get fired. It’s earn a promotion or get fired. The stakes are high.

Tenure: an indefinite job contract, granting significant job security and academic freedom, meaning they can't be fired for controversial research or opinions, only for serious misconduct or budget cuts

My school has eliminated so many tenure positions but kept the professors on as lecturers (aka year by year contract)

I had a PhD committee member who failed to get tenure. That was crummy. I didn't realize he was up for tenure and at risk when I asked him to be on the committee. I chose my minor to work with him. Hmph!

One of my professors in undergrad found out she wasn't getting tenure, went home, and decided not to wake up the next day. Between her and a few other great professors the administration cut, graduation was like a funeral.

Tenure is the most ridiculous thing. The minute people realize they can’t get fired. They’re not going to put that much effort into work.
