… According to The Report on the Initiative for Faculty Race and Diversity, which was released this January, from 1991-2004, about 53 percent of all assistant professors were not awarded tenure. Granted, obscured in these statistics are some professors who leave before being promoted in order to take opportunities elsewhere.
The statistic might lead one to wonder what distinguishes the tenured 47 percent. How do you get tenure at MIT? And what’s it like to not?
