Not surprised if this is result of tenure denial. Those are appointments that are held and dispensed in a very political way. My daughter went through that and won tenure, but now she is in the process of getting full professorship. She has to be approved by every little fifedom from dept. head to chancillor and ultimately President of the Alumni Board. She has made it past the dean. But she has been fatalistic from the outset. She won’t come unglued if it doesn’t happen.
Well, Nan.....I’ll be praying she gets it.
yep. That political maneuvering is exactly why I left academia.
