The TCU Board of Trustees voted to grant tenure and promotions to 54 faculty members, and emeritus status to 13 candidates, after careful review at multiple levels within the university, in accordance with the process outlined in the Faculty Handbook, and upon the recommendation of the Provost and the approval of the Chancellor.
“These deserving faculty set high academic standards and carry out their work at a premier level. It is my privilege to recognize and work alongside them, and I am grateful for their commitment to TCU, our mission and our students,” Floyd L.
