3.1. Plans to Reduce Awards of Tenure - It is the policy of
the State Board of Regents that tenure quotas not be imposed. In lieu of
a quota system, each institution shall develop a rigorous annual review
procedure for all nontenured faculty members, and shall submit, every five
years, a plan showing how the number of faculty members awarded tenure
will be limited.
3.2. Annual Reports - Institutions within the System also shall
submit to their respective institutional boards of trustees, with a copy
to the State Board of Regents, an annual report revealing the number of
faculty members eligible for tenure and the number awarded tenure.
