More about the book
The book clarifies the history and legal framework of academic tenure, addressing prevalent misconceptions. It asserts that tenure was designed to protect academic freedom and integrity, rather than serve as a lifelong entitlement. The author argues that universities can dismiss tenured faculty for incompetence if administrators adhere to institutional regulations, challenging the notion that tenure provides absolute job security.
