The Chronicle News Blog: Tenure at Risk in Kentucky’s Community Colleges
The Board of Regents of the Kentucky Community and Technical College system will vote in March on a proposal to eliminate tenure for all new faculty hires beginning in 2009.
The board, which met today to discuss the proposal, is also considering a plan to wipe out health-care benefits in retirement for people hired after June 30, 2009.
The regents spent about 45 minutes at today’s meeting discussing details of the two proposals, after receiving a report from staff members of the system about how such a plan might be carried out.
