TENURED FACULTY


Tenured faculty expressed as a percentage of the total number of faculty provides an indication both of the extent of an institution's commitment and its ability to sustain that commitment. The percentages of full-time faculty tenured are presented below for each campus for each year from 1992-93 to 1997-98. Part-time faculty are not eligible for tenure.
Differences in tenured faculty as a percentage of the total among campuses and over time reflect differences in rates of change in number of faculty, the age of the faculty, turnover rates, and personnel policies.
