| Abstract | Many colleges now confront 3 powerful forces - affirmative action, tenure, and unionization - but may not be fully aware of the emerging relationship among them. Federally mandated affirmative action programs have altered traditional college and university personnel practices substantially. Affirmative action has prompted college administrators to revamp recruitment procedures and revise other personnel practices such as promotions, retentions, transfers, and salary scales. To receive tenure, a faculty member must satisfy eligibility requirements, demonstrate performance, and reveal potential for growth and development. All three bases for awarding tenure apparently conflict with affirmative action guidelines. Unionization also threatens the traditional practice of tenure. Unions challenge tenure by addressing its traditional purpose: employment security and the protection of academic freedom. Unions aim to protect everyone within the bargaining unit; tenure protects only the tenured. In sum, affirmative action and unionization are likely to force an end to current tenure practices.
