UNC system officials suggest more robust post-tenure reviews are needed - Jeremy Bauer-Wolf, Higher Ed Dive

Fewer than 3% of tenured faculty members who the University of North Carolina System evaluated in the past decade did not meet job expectations, according to a newly published report.The 240,000-student system released the information ahead of a meeting of its governing board Wednesday and Thursday. The board heard about the system’s post-tenure review process, a tool some critics say undermines tenure-afforded workplace protections. Of the 8,350 faculty who went through post-tenure reviews in 10 years, 244 were underachieving.
