professors, a move that educators say will seriously harm the school’s
ability to retain and attract talented faculty;
Cutting tenure protections is appealing to some college and university
chiefs because it gives them more control over cutting programs when
academic demands shift. Supporters of such protections say tenure is about
protecting academic freedom and attracting high-quality faculty.
Walker has said the changes to tenure are needed to give the state
university system more flexibility and financial leverage.
Specifically, the changes allow the University of Wisconsin system Board of
Regents — 16 of whose 18 members are appointed by the governor — to set
tenure policies instead of having tenure protections spelled out in state
law.
He said the change in Wisconsin “modernizes the concept of tenure by
authorizing the Board of Regents to enact such policies.” | L*********s
