Post-tenure I‘BViGW being analyzed

Students get graded and so

The L‘niversity Senate dis—
cussed the post-tenure review
in 11 \londay meeting.

“( lenure) protects faculty s
independence after a long
re1iew period so you can ‘t be

said l‘inglish (Ihairman David
Durant.

tenure review.

Durant, Associate Dean of

Alike Nietzel and Richard

dean. comprised the panel.
Senate (Louncil Chairman

was brought tip because of

legislation in front ofthe Ken-

report submitted by the Sen—

“11 was an effort to begin the
discussion on post—tenure
review," Applegate said. “I
would anticipate that the discus—
sion would continue until peo-
ple feel like they‘re informed
enough to make 11 decision."

The bills in front of the
legislature would mandate a

state Sen. ’l‘im l’hilpot. who
has previously represented
clients in suits over tenure
against the L'niversity.

“I think each university
shotild develop its own system
for accountability for factiliy'
performance.“ Applegate said.
“\Ve‘re very different types of
universities 11nd we‘ll probably
need different systems.“
