The University System of Georgia's governing board approved policies Wednesday that some faculty members say will undermine tenure across the state's public colleges and universities. The new policies will make it easier for tenured faculty members to be dismissed for reasons other than what are typical grounds for removal or if they don't improve unsatisfactory performance after a post-tenure review. The changes drew admonishment from the American Association of University Professors. They also sparked protests during board meetings this week, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
