Phrase tenure
Text The word "tenure," in this podcast, means the length of time that one has held a particular position or worked in a particular organization: "It can be very difficult for schools to fire teachers who have tenure." A "tenure-track professor" is a university faculty member (teacher) who does not yet have a permanent position, but is expected to earn it in time: "The university has a lot of tenure-track professors, but only the ones who do significant research and teaching will receive tenure." Finally, when talking about the law, "tenure" is the legal right to use a piece of land or live on a property for a period of time: "This document gives us tenure for 100 acres of agricultural land in western Nebraska."
