tenure
Professor's job guarantee
Tenure is the holding of a position, especially one with security against dismissal.
In academia, tenure is permanent employment granted after a probationary period, protecting professors from termination without cause: She's up for tenure next year.
More broadly, tenure refers to the length of time someone holds any position: During his tenure as CEO, profits tripled.
In property law, tenure describes the conditions under which land is held.
