Allen makes the case that this functions to improve the quality of higher education and the experience had by the student. Like Scheuerman, Allen argues that tenure is under attack for reasons other than the perceived erosion of educational quality, but makes a more direct case against administrators and public officials by arguing that tenure is actually attacked as a matter of posturing for control over the work of instructors. Indeed, Allen notes that in spite of claims that the academic freedom afforded to instructors is problematic, "the evidence shows that most tenured faculty are more productive than ever in this era of tighter resources." (95-96) This functions as an effective argument in favor of maintaining and defending the institution of tenure.
Miron. (2001). The Econoimcs of the Tenure System. Library of Economics and Liberty.
Miron's article effectively straddles the middle of the line in an often deeply polarized discussion, indicating that though the tenure system is most assuredly flawed, it remains a necessary and valuable part of protecting quality teachers from intervention and administrative oversight. Miron indicates that the arguments against tenure are indeed misdirected, inappropriately blaming the concept of tenure when it is, more accurately, the execution of tenure which is so problematic. The question at hand, this article contends, relates to how great a degree of security is provided to tenured faculty, suggesting that there is a need to more critically examine the extent of the protections against poor performance or diminishing qualified imposed by tenure. Miron offers moderated approaches to tenure that scale pay with experience and effectiveness rather than with the simple awarding of tenure.
Plater. (2001). A Profession at Risk. Change.
Plater's article defends the importance of tenure while also putting forth arguments in favor of post tenure review. The article takes a relatively distinct path insofar as it discusses post tenure not as an enemy to the concept of tenure -- which is often how this approach is perceived by educators -- and instead as an approach due for refinement. This contributes to the present research the idea that post tenure review can be used not to penalize instructors...
