Produktbeschreibung
A long standing component in American higher
education is the tenure system. Institutions at
various levels (e.g., research universities, liberal
arts colleges, etc.) all have implemented their
unique definitions, procedures, and policies for
tenuring faculty. The ever-changing role of the
tenure system in higher education continues to be an
area for controversial debates across all levels.
Perceptions of the tenure system and the perceptions
of the criteria used to evaluate a candidate for
awarding tenure seem to vary greatly, especially
within the world of academia. A recommended goal for
any academic institution is to determine and
reevaluate systems in place designed to measure
performance and productivity of faculty members
contributions for tenure decisions. This book
focused on the perceived levels of importance
associated with: (a) specific criteria commonly used
in tenure decision-making, and (b) thetwo major
areas of research/scholarship and teaching used in
tenure decision-making. Both factors were evaluated
among research universities in America that held
membership to the Association of American
Universities (AAU).
