prompt: first let me make clear that when i talk about tenure, i'm applying this to tenure of college professors NOT about tenure involving high school teachers or any teachers in schools.  i won't go in that direction because i don't know much at all about how tenure in a grade school or a high school works. saying that, i believe that giving tenure to a college professor is just plain wrong. by tenure i mean that once a professor has a certain amount of experience, they are essentially safe...it's almost impossible to fire them.

chosen.content: I believe that granting tenure to a college professor is sometimes necessary and beneficial to the institution and to the academic world. Of course, in order for tenure to be awarded, there needs to be a rigorous evaluation process that ensures that the professor is qualified, accomplished and will contribute positive aspects to the faculty as a whole. Furthermore, granting tenure ensures job security, especially for those whose positions may otherwise be unstable due to budget cuts, political pressures, and other factors beyond the professor’s control. Thus, granting tenure can give a professor peace of mind and help foster better teaching and research practices within the institution. On the other hand, there have been cases when a tenured professor has abused their status and caused disruptions within the university or college or failed to adhere to certain policies and standards. This is why it’s important to have a system in place, such as rigorous evaluations beforehand, that can prevent these types of situations and protect both the professor and the institution.

rejected.content: This kind of tenure is controversial; while it protects college professors from unfair dismissal, some critics argue it can limit their freedom to pursue unconventional topics and research. Furthermore, many argue that tenure is not applied fairly and can lead to unnecessary job protections and overly expensive legal battles. While I personally believe that tenure serves a useful purpose, both protecting college professors' freedom of expression, and providing stability in an academic position, I do believe that it needs to be regulated to ensure it is not misused. For example, some universities set certain guidelines, requiring professors to receive good evaluations, fulfill specific course and research responsibilities and make periodic reviews to maintain the tenure status.
