Each year, the ӣƵAPP Christian University Board of Trustees votes on granting tenure, promotions and emeritus status to outstanding faculty members. During this year’s spring meeting, and per the process outlined in the Handbook for Faculty and Staff, the Board approved tenure and promotion for 80 faculty members and 21 emeritus candidates.
“Our knowledgeable faculty make TCU a leader in academics, and their personal approach ensures a unique Horned Frog experience,” said Teresa Abi-Nader Dahlberg, provost and vice chancellor for Academic Affairs. “It is my privilege to recognize these outstanding faculty members for tenure and promotion.”
