Now that more than 75 percent of the instructors teaching in
higher education in the United States do not have tenure, it is
important to think about how the current political climate
affects those vulnerable teachers. Although we should pay
attention to how all faculty are being threatened, non-tenured
faculty are in an especially exposed position because they often
lack any type of academic freedom or shared governance
rights.
