After Latina professor denied tenure, dean promises review of tenure process

​

‘There is much we might learn from a careful review’

Following a protracted controversy over a Harvard Latina professor’s being denied tenure, a university dean has promised a review of the intensive tenure process in the elite university’s school of arts and sciences .

Claudine Gay, who leads the Faculty of Arts & Sciences, promised her faculty a “comprehensive review of the tenure procedures in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences” last month, according to an email obtained by The Harvard Crimson.

That vow comes after Lorgia Garcia Peña, an associate professor at the Ivy League university, was denied tenure in November. The denial has led to a series of sustained protests on campus—including students occupying several university buildings and interrupting faculty meetings—as well as a group of academics from other universities forming a coalition in support of the instructor.
