20世纪90年代以来美国公立大学终身教职制度发展的趋势分析

An Analysis of the Development of Tenure Policy in American Public Universities Since 1990s

20世纪90年代以来,美国公立大学非终身教职教师比例增长,而终身教职教师比例下降,兼职教师数量增长迅速。在各州高等教育投入普遍不足的背景下,各州公立大学纷纷对原有的终身教职制度进行改革,促成了终身教职制向终身教职聘后评审制的转变,这一变革对大学和教师都产生了相应的影响。

Since 1990s, the great change of tenure policy has taken place in American higher education. The proportion of tenure is decreasing and the population of non- tenure is increasing. Under the pressure of states＇ finance, all public higher education institutes reforms their tenure policy. As a result, new post- tenure review is developed, which brings great effect on faculty and public higher education institutes.
