Presidents, politicians, scholars, students and parents concur there are growing concerns with America’s higher education system. Finger pointing aside, this book focuses on what may be the lynchpin of all subsequent issues: guaranteed lifetime employment…pronounced tenure. Looking from the outside in–and the inside out–international author and professor Mitch Springer takes a deeper dive into the behavioral characteristics governing the transformation of public institutions of higher education and the national implications thereof. TENURED is a synthesis of over 25 years of researched literature, carefully assembled into a comprehensive and cohesive depiction of basic elements collectively constituting what may be the single greatest threat to the transformation of higher education today. TENURED is a must read for anyone grappling with, or having an interest in the problems and possible solutions to higher education.
