SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Higher education; elimination of tenure. Eliminates tenure for faculty accepting employment at a public institution of higher education on and after July 1, 2003. Persons employed in tenure-track positions before July 1, 2003, may still be eligible for the award of tenure.

A second enactment clause provides that current Virginia statutes and regulations addressing the award of tenure to higher education faculty shall be applicable only to those persons employed in faculty positions eligible for such award before the effective date of this measure.

The Code cites agency regulations regarding tenure for faculty (§§ 2.2-4002, 2.2-4101) as well as early retirement incentives for tenured faculty (23-9.2:3.1).
