Nineteen Faculty Members Awarded Tenure
Apr-13-2012Nineteen Eastern Illinois University faculty members have been awarded tenure, effective with the 2012-13 academic year.
The EIU Board of Trustees approved the list Friday.
Tenure, awarded in an academic department, connotes a relationship of continuing commitment between the university and a faculty member.
Generally, in order to qualify for tenure consideration, a faculty member must complete a probationary period and demonstrate progressive achievement and effectiveness in three areas of evaluation: teaching/performance of primary duties, research/creative activities, and service.
