The recent news coming from higher education has been full of talk about the changing nature of tenure. Under what circumstances can it be revoked? What are the costs of the shift toward non-tenure-track instructors? Might universities move away from tenure altogether? Critics of the tenure system meet with some of its proponents to discuss costs and benefits, and what sort of future tenure might have.
