Academic Freedom and Tenure: Between Fiction and Reality
Tierney, William G.
Journal of Higher Education
, 161-177, 2004-03-01.
View Abstract
What do academic novels tell us about academic freedom and tenure? What messages do these novels convey to the broad public? This article attempts to answer these questions by analyzing academic novels that have been written over the last century, paying particular attention to novels written in the last twenty-five years in order to assess current portrayals of academic life. It begins with a brief discussion about how the author defines and studies the academic novel and then analyzes how academic freedom and tenure have been portrayed.--from ERIC abstract

The Role of Collegiality in Higher Education Tenure, Promotion, and Termination Decisions.
Connell, Mary Ann, Savage, Frederick G.
Journal of College and University Law
, 833-858, Spring 2001.
View Abstract
Presents an analysis of the arguments for and against consideration of collegiality in higher education employment decisions and a review of the relevant case law. Critics argue that unless collegiality is specified as a separate criterion for evaluation in the faculty contract or handbook, its use is a breach of contract. Others are concerned that collegiality serves as a pretext for discrimination and endangers academic freedom and free speech.--ERIC abstract
