Statement of Principles of Tenure Sample Clauses

Statement of Principles of Tenure. The purpose of any system of tenure is two- fold: 1) to protect the individual; 2) to protect the institution. The University during a stated number of years has the opportunity to observe and evaluate the capabilities and services of a faculty member. Each time a contract comes up for renewal, the administration is charged with the responsibility of judging all the qualifications of every faculty member. This should be an affirmative and not a passive judgment. Upon this judgment must be based a decision not to reappoint those who have failed to adapt themselves to the standards of this institution, or to promote those who have achieved beyond the normal expectations or who have performed satisfactorily over a period of years. No system of tenure will work unless the administration acts with firmness in not renewing contracts of those who are not adapted by training, experience, or temperament to the institution. It goes without saying that lack of success here does not necessarily imply lack of success elsewhere. In most instances, persons whose contracts are not to be re-renewed should be aided by the administration in obtaining another position. After a faculty member has served an apprenticeship for a specified number of years and has been found worthy of retention on the faculty, the faculty member should be granted tenure and be given the assurance of continuous appointment which cannot be terminated except for cause after the individual has been accorded the rights of due process.
