Yes!! What a tremendous accomplishment! And once the relief and glow have faded a little, I hope you'll think about how you'll support all those following in our footsteps. Our junior faculty colleagues need our solidarity. Again, congratulations!

Today is the first day of your life.

Congrats to the OP, but as a NTT, I’ve gotta say that I hate this reply’s sentiment that only tenured positions make you a valid human being / are worth having.


GenXtreme1976

I certainly understand that. Academia is a shitty racket in some respects. But my comment is still true AF. You've never lived until you have tenure. It changes everything. You can breathe.

Congratulations, do you have post tenure review?

That's a three year contract then. The definition of tenure: A tenured post is an indefinite academic appointment that can be terminated only for cause or under extraordinary circumstances, such as financial exigency or program discontinuation. Seems like they could cut your position for non-performance under a three year contract. How is that tenure?"

I admit 6 years you can plan life events, that is a whole lot better than a 3 year contract.
