Why Tenure?Tenure … is a means to assure unfettered, unbiased, unencumbered search, verification, and communication OF TRUTH by professional scholars and teachers. Tenure is designed to provide faculty members with freedom from political, doctrinaire, and other pressures, restraints, and reprisals which would otherwise inhibit the independent thought and actions in their professional responsibility of search, verification, and communication OF TRUTH.
