Politicizing Tenure: The Side Effects of Disruptive Higher Education Policies (Poster 49)
Fri, April 12, 9:35 to 11:05am, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 200, Exhibit Hall AAbstract
Higher education has been increasingly politicized in recent years by legislative actions that threaten tenure, academic freedom, institutional autonomy, and shared governance. The side effects of these policies will impact academic freedom, tenure density, and shared governance. The paper will review tenure in higher education, the contentious politics that have led to political interference, and the detrimental side effects of tenure higher education policies. The paper concludes with recommendations to contend with the side effects of political interference.
