Tenure, Protection and the Professoriate 
Does tenure protect our ability to talk back? The saving-of-tenure discussion would seem to come after an intimate analysis of why so many technology-prone English studies professionals are finding tenure at odds with the ebb and flow of their own interests, motivations, and survival. Excellent, productive teacher/scholars with a commitment to service are opting out of the tenure struggle and sometimes the university as a whole. That’s worrisome.

Wanted: Tenure and Promotion for Technical Communication Faculty 
If technical communication has come of age, then its faculty owe their newer colleagues (and themselves) a clear road map for professional development and career progress. Hiring new faculty for maturing academic programs demands attention to the systems of promotion and tenure, which anchor faculty review and reward structures and define academic career success.

Scholarship, Tenure, and Promotion in Professional Communication
When thinking about scholarship, tenure, and promotion in professional communication, we must remember that the field has come into its own only in the last decade. Called by different names -- technical writing, technical and scientific writing, business communication, or the more inclusive term we use -- professional communication has now moved from a nearly invisible position in the service ranks of academic departments to recognition as a discipline with its own scholarly agenda.
