Is 70% low?

Most people have a good idea whether they'll get tenure, and few apply if they're not pretty sure they'll get it. It's better to just look for other employment and not have tenure denial on your record. As I said before, imagine what standardized test scores would look like if only our 4.0 students took them.

I know my number is just about right. I got it from an ISU representative who stated that 8 of the last 12 got tenure. I know that's two thirds but if you go back for ten years the number is about 70%.

You're just handwaving. But I'm willing to be convinced with some numbers.
