Trustees grant tenure to Luxon and 13 others

At its June meeting, the College's Board of Trustees approved the decision to grant tenure to 14 professors, including controversial English Professor Tom Luxon. To receive tenure, faculty members need to be able to teach and do quality research, Associate Dean of the Faculty George Wolford said. "A brilliant scholar may get by with average teaching ability and a great teacher may not pass the tear in scholarship," Wolford said.
