Academic Community and Post-Tenure Review.

Tierney, William G.

Academe, v83 n3 p23-25 May-Jun 1997

Discusses the need for post-tenure faculty review to root out "dead wood" faculty and increase faculty accountability, focusing on the time frame for such reviews, who gets reviewed, and the intensity and ramifications of the review. Also notes criticisms of post-tenure reviews and the need to build community through self-regulation. (MDM)
