The Granting of Tenure Clause Samples

The Granting of Tenure clause establishes the conditions and process by which an individual, typically an academic or educator, is awarded permanent employment status. This clause outlines the eligibility criteria, evaluation procedures, and decision-making authority involved in conferring tenure, such as requiring a certain number of years of service and satisfactory performance reviews.

(b) A person appointed to, or promoted to, the rank of Associate Professor shall be granted tenure on appointment upon the recommendation of a tenure committee or be given a three-year appointment. In the latter case he or she shall be considered for tenure in the third year of appointment and shall be notified of the result not later than April 15 of that year.
