I am curious because at a prevous job I was promoted to associate professor
three years early, but was not provided tenure. I have this written on my
CV, and certainly, I'm not hiding it. Yet, I continue to get regular
questions such as, "why did I leave a tenured position," or "What happened
with your tenured position?" I really have to wonder how frequently people
assume I was tenured when I never was. In fact, I was going up for tenure
when the school was slammed with over 20% in budget cuts.
Any thoughts on how I might communicate this better? Its in my letter and
on my CV, heck, I have even included the promotion document in my portfolio
that shows promotion without tenure.
I cannot tell you how often the subject comes up.
