A tenured professor was denied tenure at WMU-Cooley Law School. The professor, who has been with the school for five years, was denied tenure after a review of her scholarship, service, and teaching.
The school's tenure review committee found that the professor did not meet the school's standards for scholarship. The committee found that the professor's scholarship was not of sufficient quality or quantity to meet the school's standards.
The committee also found that the professor did not meet the school's standards for service. The committee found that the professor did not participate in enough service activities to meet the school's standards.
Finally, the committee found that the professor did not meet the school's standards for teaching. The committee found that the professor's teaching was not of sufficient quality to meet the school's standards.
The professor has appealed the decision to the school's tenure review board. The board will review the professor's appeal and make a final decision on whether or not to grant her tenure.
The decision to deny tenure to the professor has sparked outrage among some faculty members. Some faculty members have accused the school of violating the professor's academic freedom.
The school has denied these accusations. The school has said that the decision to deny tenure to the professor was based on her performance, not on her political views.
The case is still ongoing. It is unclear whether or not the professor will be granted tenure.
