Kurland, Jordan E.; And Others – Academe, 1983

Moody, JoAnn – Academe, 2000

Urges a more open tenure review process to eliminate elements of…

Cahn, Steven M. – Academe, 2004
Most college and university administrators claim to care deeply about the quality of teaching at their institutions. But, too often, their actions belie their words.

Cholakian, Rouben – Academe, 1994

Wesson, Marianne; Johnson, Sandra – Academe, 1991
An evaluation of the University of Colorado's posttenure faculty peer review process found that, although the process was successful in identifying faculty whose efforts might be reinvigorated through faculty development, the resources to effect change had seldom been forthcoming. The most useful aspect of the review was the most neglected. (MSE)
