Award of faculty tenure is governed by the College's Rank and Tenure Policy Statement (RTPS). A faculty member with tenure who assumes a full-time administrative position retains his/her tenure and is classified as a Tenured Faculty Member Serving as an Administrator under the RTPS.  The only administrators who hold tenure are those who were awarded it in the course of faculty service at the College or who were hired with tenure.  Faculty tenure status is no assurance of administrative employment.  Academic administrators share the same rights and responsibilities as other administrators.
