Academic Tenure in Radiologic Technology—Revisited

Context Academic tenure is important to most educators, including those in the radiologic sciences; however, many factors can influence an educator’s ability to attain tenure.

Objective This article empirically examines the concept of tenure among radiologic science educators using data from a national survey of registered radiologic technology educators.

Results Greater proportions of tenured and tenure-eligible faculty held higher academic rank, had higher levels of education and were employed by 2- and 4-year colleges or universities compared with nontenure-track faculty. Also, tenured R.T. educators tended to be older than tenure-eligible and nontenure-track faculty.

Summary R.T. educators are a diverse group, and attention should focus on the individual needs of educators in a variety of professional settings.
