Each year, the TCU Board of Trustees votes on granting tenure, promotions and emeritus status to outstanding faculty members. During this year’s spring meeting, and per the process outlined in the Handbook for Faculty and Staff, the Board approved tenure and promotion for 66 faculty members and 10 emeritus candidates.
“Congratulations to these faculty and emeritus faculty for being awarded tenure and promotion,” Floyd L. Wormley, Jr., interim provost and vice chancellor of academic affairs, said. “I applaud your continual work and commitment to TCU and our students.”
