Tenure-Track Clause Samples
The Tenure-Track clause defines the employment pathway for academic staff who are on a probationary period leading toward potential tenure. It typically outlines the expectations, evaluation criteria, and timeline that faculty members must meet to be considered for a permanent, tenured position. For example, it may specify requirements such as teaching performance, research output, and service to the institution during a set number of years. This clause ensures transparency in the promotion process and provides both the institution and the employee with a clear framework for career progression and job security.
