I believe that means that Bruce attended the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. It is often considered to be the best business school in the country.

So you get tenure when you attend? Wow, they must have changed from faculty tenure to student tenure!! Or, maybe I have it all wrong? I am not sure I would want tenure as a student......

it concerns me when someone claims educational accolades yet cannot substantiate them.
a tenured professor has a lifetime appointment until retirement, except for dismissal with "due cause". the reason for the existence of such a privileged position is the principle of academic freedom, which holds that it is beneficial for state, society and academy in the long run if learned persons are free to examine, hold, and advance controversial views without fear of losing their jobs. tenure allows professors to engage in current political or other controversies. "matriculation", however, can refer to mere enrollment or registration as a student at a university or college by a student intending to earn a degree, an event which involves only paperwork and is often handled by mail or online. a university might make a distinction between "matriculated students," who are actually accumulating credits toward a degree, and a relative few "non-matriculated students" who may be "auditing" courses or taking classes without receiving credits. so then bruce, care to elaborate?

Well I care not to take sides, I do want to point out that while Bob's description of tenure above is probably the most commonly used meaning for the term "tenure," tenure can also mean simply a position. In this case, it seems Bruce was referring to his position as student. So, I'm not entirely sure what Bruce posted is inaccurate.

With all due respect I feel the more common terminology for tenure at a college refers to faculty. Rarely, if ever, have I heard that term associated with being a student. I am sure it could be used that way but i don't think that is not normal. Kind of like he's looking for the penultimate cards
![]() I suggest using vocabulary that one is comfortable with when writing, or consulting a dictionary or thesaurus. I always give myself a fairly low B for writing skills but I get immunity for being the moderator.

Bob Craik's above description of what a tenured faculty member (professor) is, is accurate. I happen to be one at Oregon State University.
Bruce used the term in a more colloquial than technical sense. For example, you can say: "During Leon's tenure as moderator of Net54, he had to deal with a lot of hassles." This is the way I read Bruce's use of the term, and it is a correct usage as well. JimB Last edited by E93; 10-18-2009 at 10:20 PM. |
