Freedom, Excellence Dependent on Tenure, Commission Concludes

A national study commission has concluded that tenure, as it defines it, is indispensable to academic freedom and educational excellence in higher education. The Commission on Academic Tenure in Higher Education, which released the text of its final report this weekend after more than a year of study, said it "affirms its conviction that academic tenure, rightly understood and properly administered, provides the most reliable means of assuring faculty quality and educational excellence, as well as the best guarantee of academic freedom."

The commission said none of the alternatives proposed for tenure can be relied upon to protect academic freedom or eliminate the deficiencies now identified in the concept of tenure. It especially singled out the substitution of term contracts for tenure as not solving current deficiencies and presenting new and more serious problems.

The eleven-member commission was sponsored by the Association of American Colleges and the American Association of University Professors, but operated independently under a grant of $125,000 from the Ford Foundation. Co-chairmen were William R. Keast, formerly president of Wayne State University and now chairman of the department of English and Director of the Center for Higher Education at the University of Texas at Austin, and John W. Macy, Jr., formerly chairman of the U.S. Civil Service Commission and until recently president of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

"In the judgment of this commission," Keast said, "the weaknesses that have brought academic tenure under needed scrutiny are not imperfections in the concept itself but serious deficiencies in its application and administra­ tion— deficiencies resulting in large measure from fundamental changes in American education during the last two decades. These deficiencies, we are convinced, are remediable, by reform in institutional policy and practice and professional standards and priorities."

The commission offers 47 recommendations to the academic community for the reform and improvement of tenure. The report also declares:

"Above all, the decision to award tenure must be a decision. It must be a formal, explicit judgment, in which responsible professionals affirm, after the most careful deliberation on available facts and probabilities for the future, that the individual under consideration should indeed be a permanent member of the institution's faculty.

"In the commission's judgment, one of the most pervasive and most serious weaknesses in the tenure system at present is the failure of institutions to base the award of tenure on an explicit judgment— their failure genuinely to decide. In all too many institutions, tenure Ts achieved by default, through the mere passage of time. . . ."

A survey commissioned for the study showed that tenure plans are in effect in all public and private universities and public four-year colleges; in 94 percent of private colleges, and in more than two-thirds of the nation's two- year colleges, both public and private. The commission also found that the proportion of tenured faculty in 1972 (almost 50 percent) was approximately equal to the proportion in the 1960s. - 2 -

The commission noted that prospects for the future are quite different and warned that, without careful planning, the opportunities to inject new blood into college and university faculties will be seriously limited.

The following are among the commission’s formal recommendations:

- Students and nontenured faculty should participate in a serious and significant way in developing and reviewing institutional tenure policies.

- Colleges and universities should develop internal policies and pro­ cedures for dealing fairly and effectively with faculty personnel problems, to minimize reliance on the courts.

- Faculties should develop more sophisticaed and reliable methods of judging scholarly competence and promise. The commission noted that there is a widespread concern that evaluation of scholarship too often stresses quantity rather than quality.

- Institutions should develop methods of evaluating teaching effective­ ness of both their nontenured and tenured faculty, and procedures for reflecting these evaluations in pertinent personnel actions.

- Institutions should develop policies determining the proportion of tenured and nontenured faculty that will be compatible with the composition of their present staffs, resources and projected enrollment, and future objectives. A majority of the commission said that it would probably be dangerous for most institutions to permit the tenured faculty to constitute more than one-half to two-thirds of the total full-time faculty during the decade ahead.

- Each institution should develop a staffing plan and a procedure for reviewing and modifying it on an annual basis, and such plans should provide for a substantial increase in the number of women and other minority groups granted tenure.

- Institutions should develop better means of assisting faculty members, especially younger ones, to improve their teaching, scholarship, and professional performance.

- Seven years should be retained as a maximum period of probationary service for nontenured faculty. The commission also recommended that institu­ tions, as a matter of policy, not use probationary periods of less than five years before tenure deicsions are made.

- Institutions should develop attractive options for early retirement or reduced service that will enable those who wish to do so to leave tenured positions before the mandatory age.

- Collective bargaining in colleges and universities should not extend to academic freedom and tenure.

The commission’s report, Faculty Tenure, will be published in April by Jossey-Bass, Inc. In addition to the commission's 92-page formal report, the book will contain several commissioned papers and some supporting documents.
