tenure review

Professorship permanence assessment

Tenure review is the formal evaluation process determining whether a professor receives tenure—permanent academic employment with strong job protections.

The review typically occurs after a probationary period of five to seven years and examines teaching, research, and service.

A negative tenure review usually means the professor must leave the institution: She's anxious about her upcoming tenure review.
