Dive Brief:
- A recent court ruling backs up new requirements for Florida faculty members seeking tenure at the state's community colleges.
- A faculty group had challenged an increase in the number of years of service required to qualify, as well as a requirement for performance reviews.
- The court held that the state had adequate authority to make the new rules and rejected the faculty group's arguments.
Dive Insight:
The ruling does not apply to all of Florida's universities. It applies to Florida's state colleges, formerly known as the community college system, where the state says 65% of its high school graduates begin their post-secondary education.
