I begin by thanking Dr. E. Grady Bogue, who serves as the Chair of my Supervisory Committee. Dr. Bogue has left an indelible influence on me through his teaching and mentoring. It is a privilege to have studied with Dr. Bogue, and I hope to continue his legacy of stellar scholarship and commitment to the students of higher education. I also appreciate the contributions of the other members of the committee. Chancellor Jimmy G. Cheek, who serves as both Chancellor and a faculty member in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, has exemplified boldness and vision in institutional leadership. Distinguished Professor of Law Joan M. Heminway—a renowned expert in business law and a campus leader— has challenged me to think critically about the legal and policy issues raised by this study. I especially appreciate her encouragement to delve more deeply into issues touched on in this study, as well as her support for my interdisciplinary professional goals. Finally, Dr. Terry L. Leap, who sits at the helm of the Department of Management, has inspired my vision for interdisciplinary work. His scholarship on tenure, employment law, deviant organizational behavior, and white collar crime has demonstrated the interconnectedness between departments, studies, and venues. To learn from such accomplished scholars is humbling; I will endeavor to reflect their many lessons as I move forward. I would also like to thank all the faculty and staff of the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies who served during my doctoral program, some who remain in their positions and others whose careers have taken them elsewhere. In particular, I thank Dr. Joe Johnson, President Emeritus and an affiliate faculty member, whose leadership wisdom v and “do what’s right” lessons arise out of his exceptional career of service to higher education. I also thank Dr. Norma M. Mertz for furthering my understanding of theoretical frameworks, inviting me to serve on faculty search committees, and being an inspiration; Dr. Sonja McNeely for patiently teaching about the research process and how to blend disparate parts into a seamless whole; and Dr. Margaret W. Sallee for providing thought-provoking courses and inviting me to co-author my first published article in higher education scholarship. And I especially appreciate Ms. Karen Crumley and Ms. Constance Honorable, who help bring to fruition the many purposes of the department and Higher Education Administration program. I have learned from you all. I also value each and every one of my classmates and peers who have deeply enriched this experience through friendship, wise counsel, and stimulating discussions. I offer special thanks to Shay, Crystal, Colber, and Karen for being true comrades and lifelong friends. To my extended family, I offer heartfelt thanks for your support. Your words of encouragement and computer expertise have made this project far more bearable. And to Tim—my husband, dearest friend, and cheerleader—words insufficiently express my gratitude for your love and devotion. vi ABSTRACT This study examined judicial influence on academic decision-making by identifying factors in the tenure process that have induced courts to rule against higher education institutions in litigation stemming from tenure denials. Many interdisciplinary legal and educational studies have been conducted pertaining to tenure related litigation using qualitative, quantitative, and legal research methodologies. Empirical studies have been directed at varied issues, such as the peer review process; specific claims, such as discrimination; types of institutions; or time periods. Much of this scholarship has noted the importance of judicial deference to decisions made in academia. Unique to this study was the application of dual conceptual frameworks of shared governance and judicial deference as to decisions made in the academic tenure denial process. The study was also unique in that it was limited to tenure litigation cases in which institutions did not wholly prevail. Included in the study were published judicial opinions from the period of 1972 to 2011 from the U.S. Supreme Court, U.S. Courts of Appeal, and states’ highest appellate courts. The study sought to determine first, the policies and procedures employed in public and private colleges and universities that have contributed to federal and state appellate courts’ unfavorable rulings against institutions in tenure denial litigation; second, the remedies granted to faculty plaintiffs who prevail in tenure denial litigation; and finally, the steps that colleges and universities can take to minimize and mitigate tenure denial litigation. vii Complementary legal and qualitative research methods yielded evidence that courts were highly deferential to academic decision-making and that courts ruled against institutions’ tenure decisions when the decisions were contrary to law. Courts granted legal and equitable remedies when institutions infringed upon a professor’s rights, discriminated against a professor, or breached a contract with a professor. Based on the analysis of case law, this study proposed steps that institutions could take to avoid or mitigate tenure denial litigation. By gaining a better understanding of potential flaws in the tenure process and why courts have substituted judicial decisions for those of institutional decisions, this study contributes to our understanding as to how to decrease the influence of the courts on decisions made in academia. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS DEDICATION .............................................................................................................. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS .............................................................................................. iv ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................... vi LIST OF TABLES ....................................................................................................... xiv CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION .................................................................................... 1 Background and Context ...................................................................................... 1 Statement of the Problem ..................................................................................... 6 Purpose of the Study ............................................................................................ 8 Research Questions .............................................................................................. 9 Conceptual Framework ........................................................................................ 9 Governance Theory .................................................................................. 9 Doctrine of Judicial Deference ..............................................................

  • Academic Tenure and Academic Freedom
    ACADEMIC TENURE AND ACADEMIC FREEDOM RALPH S. BROWN* AND JORDAN E. KURLAND** I INTRODUCTION Anyone with enough interest in academic tenure to glance at this article knows what tenure is. Are you sure? Here are two rather varying definitions. The first, by a former president of Yale University, Kingman Brewster, is from the best brief statement about tenure in a research university: "The practical fact in most places, and the unexceptional rule at Yale, is that tenure is for all normal purposes a guarantee of appointment until retirement age.", The second, by Duke law professor William W. Van Alstyne, is found in the best general defense of tenure: "Tenure, accurately and unequivocally defined, lays no claim whatever to a guarantee of lifetime employment. Rather, tenure provides only that no person continuously retained as a full-time faculty member beyond a specified lengthy period of probationary service may 2 thereafter be dismissed without adequate cause." Both definitions are close to the truth: President Brewster's as a realistic observation, Professor Van Alstyne's as a cautious scholar's synthesis. We will have more to say about their apparent differences. The conventions and legal status that both address affect all but a very few of the nation's accredited universities and four-year colleges. 3 This article will say little or nothing Copyright © 1990 by Law and Contemporary Problems * Simeon E. Baldwin Professor Emeritus, Yale Law School. ** Associate General Secretary, American Association of University Professors. When this article was prepared, Brown was serving as interim general counsel of AAUP. It is accordingly important to declare that neither author is speaking for the AAUP, although, as will appear, both draw heavily from AAUP policies and practices, and from their own long experience in the AAUP.
