first let me make clear that when i talk about tenure, i'm applying this to tenure of college professors NOT about tenure involving high school teachers or any teachers in schools.  i won't go in that direction because i don't know much at all about how tenure in a grade school or a high school works. saying that, i believe that giving tenure to a college professor is just plain wrong. by tenure i mean that once a professor has a certain amount of experience, they are essentially safe...it's almost impossible to fire them.

I think that it's important to have job security for professors who have achieved a certain level of experience and have provided valuable service to the institution. However, I don't agree with giving tenure for a number of reasons. 

A tenure system that is too easy to access could lead to increased instances of fraud, plagiarism, and other misconduct as those individuals will have fewer incentives to behave properly. It would also lead to more of an “old boy’s club” culture and may discourage innovation within academic institutions by discouraging the development of newer, more efficient methods of doing business. Further, if job security is too readily granted and without scrutiny, those individuals who demonstrate the potential to be exemplary teachers and researchers may be overlooked while poorly performing teachers remain employed. 

To protect the integrity of the tenure system, I believe a more rigorous vetting process should be put in place where tenure is considered on an individualized basis, with a thorough review of a professor's past accomplishments, impactful research, and exemplary teaching ability as a criteria for evaluating eligibility. Additionally, academic institutions should be required to conduct annual performance reviews of all tenured employees to ensure that all individuals are upholding the highest standards of excellence.
