NTU faculty at the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information chair, Associate ProfessorDetenber met with school faculty on Friday to shed more light on the situation, reaffirming the stance that the school stood behind George on both occasions when he sought tenure.
George’s second denial of tenure means that he will be asked to leave the university a year from now, according to NTU’s “3 + 3 + 3 + 1” policy for lecturers on the tenure track.
The students, led by final year journalism student Bhavan Jaipragas, brought hard copies of the petition to the offices of the university president, provost, college and school deans. After speaking with Detenber, it emerged that the school had on both occasions (in 2009 and this year) backed George’s application for tenure, and that his subsequent rejection was decided upon at a higher level.
