tenure

Examples of tenure in the following topics:

• Understanding Tenured Jobs

  • The tenured and non-tenured track in academia often defines the role of educators at the university and college level.
  • Thus academic tenure is similar to the lifetime tenure that protects some judges from external pressure.
  • Positions that carry tenure, or the opportunity to attain tenure, have grown more slowly than non-tenure-track positions, leading to a large "academic underclass".For example, most U.S. universities currently supplement the work of tenured professors with the services of non-tenured adjunct professors, academics who teach classes for lower wages and fewer employment benefits under relatively short-term contracts.
  • Only faculty in these positions are eligible for tenure.
  • Likewise, the term "instructor" is very generic and can be applied to any teacher, or it can be a specific title (tenure or tenure-track) depending upon how an institution chooses to use the term.

• Teaching as a Professor or Lecturer

  • While teaching as professor can be an exciting career path, it can also be a difficult one when trying secure full-time employment, and one of the limited coveted tenure positions.
  • College and university teachers who hold the rank of lecturer or instructor are typically not tenured/tenure-track faculty, and usually focus on teaching undergraduate courses, and are generally not involved in research, nor are they typically involved in department and university decision-making.
  • Since these positions are non-tenure track, they often do not involve a research or publishing requirement, although many of these professors do publish, research, and consult.
  • These appointments are non-tenure track, as well.
  • Under the designation of non-tenured position, falls the role of adjunct professor.

• The Impeachment and Trial of Johnson

  • The House's primary charge against Johnson was his violation of the Tenure of Office Act, which Congress had passed in the previous year.

  • In 1867, Congress passed the Tenure of Office Act in an effort to protect Edwin M.
  • Johnson, who believed that the Tenure of Office Act was unconstitutional, ignored the act and suspended Stanton anyway, replacing him with General Ulysses Grant on August 5, 1867.
  • United States affirmed "that the Tenure of Office Act of 1867...was invalid".

• Greenspan Era

  • He had the second longest tenure in the position.
  • The most notable actions taken during Greenspan's tenure as chairman began in 2000.

  • During his 34-year tenure, however, Marshall gave it the energy and weight of the third, co-equal branch of government.

• Reducing Turnover

  • If an employer is said to have a high turnover relative to its competitors, it means that employees of that company have a shorter average tenure than those of other companies in the same industry.
  • Other variables related to turnover are the conditions in the external job market, the availability of other job opportunities, and the length of employee tenure.
