Alternatives To Faculty Tenure In Higher Education. This essay discusses possible alternatives to faculty tenure in higher education. It begins by discussing the advantages and disadvantages of tenure in this uncertain climate for education funding at a time when there is also a great deal of public pressure for higher education to be more accountable. Is tenure outdated in an academic world striving for more user-friendly departments and universities that are also trying to cut costs? Does tenure create or exacerbate complacency, thereby producing unproductive and unaccountable tenured professors? Or is tenure one of the fundamental tenets of academia and intellectual freedom? This study aims to raise some points on both sides of this intellectual divide, before suggesting some feasible alternatives to faculty tenure. It concludes by making some recommendations on the basis of these findings. 10 pgs. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
