No, I’m aware of that, and assumed it. She was up for tenure, having presumably been in the department for several years (not necessarily three in every department) and didn’t get it.
Or if she had taught several years elsewhere, it’s possible that she could have been considered sooner. Normally you need to get tenure after six years in one place. When you come into a new department, it’s usually negotiable how many years of teaching in other departments will count toward tenure.
What I said, is that this probably seemed like the end of the line to her when she was turned down and probably saw no other options.
Thanks for the info. I know in my Fathers time, if you had
tenure and wanted to go to another University and was
accepted, you were granted tenure immediately.
“What I said, is that this probably seemed like the end of the line to her when she was turned down and probably saw no other options.”
It is the end. If you don’t get tenure, you are terminated. You typically have one chance to reapply and given 12 months to fix the deficiencies on your CV, but Bishop may have been on her last review. I don’t know.
