The Detenurnation Doctrine at Law

The Detenurnation Doctrine at Law provides that any Professor who has received Tenure holds of those Professors who voted for him or her for Tenure, and thus, it is illegal and invalid for the junior professor to vote to detenure the more senior professor who voted for the tenure of the junior professor. For example, if Professor John Jones on the Tenured Faculty, voted for the Tenure of tenure cantidate, Sally Smith, then Professor Sally Smith is probibited by law from voted or acting in any way to detenure Professor John Jones, whom Sally Smith holds of. Additionally, once the tenured faculty who voted for the tenure of Professor John Jones is reduced by retirement or otherwise to a number less than 75% of the original voting tenured faculty, then the tenured faculty who, as a group, voted for the tenure of Professor John Jones, do not have the power to detenure Professor John Jones, either. Aditionally, a Professor cannot be detenured for a disability as long as he or she is meeting the requirement of the tenure guidelines under which he or she was tenured, that is, practically competent, teaching, scholarship, and service. Additionally, any meeting of a Faculty or Tenure Committee or Tenured Faculty, is bound by Sheriff's Law, the Law of Logic, as typically represented by the use of Roberts Rules of Order.
