Tenured Appointments 

 .017       A tenured Faculty appointment is a permanent appointment to a School of this university, or, if the School is departmentalized, to a particular Academic Department of the School. In the case of a joint appointment, tenure applies to the position as mutually agreed upon by the academic units involved. A Distinguished Professor (cf. A-1.002) holds tenure in the university at large. In the event that the university is reorganized through mergers or other restructuring of academic units, the tenured appointment of an affected Faculty member continues in the successor academic unit. If the reorganization results in the abolition of a particular academic unit, tenured faculty appointments may be terminated according to provisions in G-8.
