81% Informative

At least 10 states have pushed legislation that would weaken or eliminate tenure in public colleges and universities.

No state has actually gone through with fully banning tenure from its public colleges or universities.

The authors of a forthcoming article in The Review of Higher Education look at the history of such legislation.

They identified 13 tenure-ban bills from 2012 to 2022 .

Indiana ’s GOP -controlled Legislature passed, and its governor signed, a law saying that public colleges and universities must deny tenure to faculty members who are “unlikely to foster intellectual diversity” In 2023 , the North Dakota House's top Republican filed a bill that would’ve allowed the presidents of Dickinson State University and Bismarck State College to fire tenured faculty members without a faculty committee.
