Hi Not just the public ... in a 2006 Behavioral and Brain Sciences paper, Ceci et al provided empirical data that they concluded was inconsistent with the rationale often given for tenure.
Take care Jim James M.

At some institutions, tenure is no longer what it once was and some don't even seem to offer it anymore. My sense is that within the next 20-30 years tenure as we know it now will disapear altogether. Miguel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher D.
