Faculty Dismissal Because of Enrollment Declines.

Seaquist, Gwen; Kelly, Eileen

Journal of Law and Education, v28 n2 p193-207 Apr 1999

Although the law pertaining to tenure denial based on scholarship and teaching is well settled, legal issues governing faculty dismissal due to declining college enrollments are unsettled. This paper reviews tenure cases and explores tenure denial based on institutional need, anticipating development of a separate body of law. (72 references) (MLH)
