Description
ABSTRACT Tenure has come under attack because in the age of corporate downsizing, corporate leaders, legislatures, and some board of trustee members have questioned why colleges and universities should not also be made "leaner and meaner" (DeGeorge, 1997). In order to address the issue of whether an institution of higher learning should operate as corporations do, we investigate the role academia takes is compared to the role a corporation takes in society. Tenure and its purposes must also be defined, including arguments for and against this long-standing tradition, and, weighing both sides equally, finally conclude what course of action should be taken to remedy the problems facing tenure.
