Tenure and the Constitution of the University.
Turner, Stephen
PS: Political Science and Politics, v30 n1 p17-20 Mar 1997
Poses an interesting analogy by considering the university as a constitutional entity with the faculty as its "citizens." Argues that elimination of tenure is an abrogation of the rights, and responsibilities of those citizens. Posits tenure as a stabilizing counterbalance to the often arbitrary actions of the administration. (MJP)
