The Faculty Senate at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville unanimously approved a resolution asking the university system’s Board of Trustees to rethink a controversial posttenure review policy, Knox News reported. The board in March passed a template for posttenure review requiring that all tenured faculty members be reviewed at least every six years. Faculty members continue to oppose the policy, saying it's intended to chip away at tenure. Each campus must submit its own review plan to the board by next month.
Knoxville’s Senate disapproves of the board's policy and found that adopting it could result in up to $1.2 million in lost time annually, according to the resolution. At the same meeting, the Senate also reluctantly approved campus procedures for periodic posttenure review, as required by the board.
