Conducted interviews with 36 faculty at 2 institutions that had adopted post tenure review practices. They found that post tenure review has not been effective in changing faculty practices.
Faculty report the post tenure review process as "busy work". Researchers suggest that it may be possible for post tenure review to be productive if it were made to be more like a professional (peer) review and less like a legal (beaurocratic) review.
