Audit Finds Gaps In University Tenure Reviews

(Salt Lake City, UT) — A Utah audit finds inconsistent oversight in university tenure and post-tenure reviews. Auditors based their conclusions on 120 interviews and 666 faculty-review records across the state’s public colleges and universities. The report says department chairs often lack clear authority or training to address performance concerns. It recommends stronger supervision, clearer responsibilities and more consistent documentation.
