| Abstract | This paper, one in a series about the priorities of the professoriate, is premised on the belief that academic tenure in higher education, if not doomed, is likely to play a diminishing role in the employment of college and university professors in coming generations. The paper argues against the belief that institutions of higher education have a privileged position in U.S. society that implies higher education should be treated as a unique entity. Instead, it suggests that institutions have become more entrepreneurial, with market forces operating on them in powerful ways. Financial trends have created a widening gap in available resources, with richer institutions getting richer and those less well off falling behind. And, in the field of medicine, forces outside the university have reshaped the economic relationships that governed compensation for doctors and hospitals. Given these factors, would-be academics might favor a diversity of employment arrangements rather than an employment-reducing system of universal tenure. An alternative to tenure that is more in line with those in other professions is presented, with the caveat that tenure may be necessary where faculty members devote themselves to specialized careers. Wage differentials for tenure-track and nontenured positions are suggested; and some of the problems to be overcome are outlined. (CH) |
