AbstractThe nature of tenure eligibility requirements for faculty has changed in recent years. The purpose of this study was to review the current tenure policies among U.S. dental schools. A five-page, sixteen-item survey was mailed to fifty-three U.S. dental schools. The survey produced thirty-seven completed questionnaires for a response rate of 70 percent. Among the results of the survey were: a) the most prevalent probationary period was seven years; b) faculty were expected to have a minimum of six to 15 publications to obtain tenure; c) only 39 percent of schools were perceived to offer a financial guarantee along with the award of tenure; and d) 69 percent of the schools offered an alternative track for selected full-time faculty.
