strategic plan<\/a> of becoming a preeminent state university, a national top 25 public institution and the world\u2019s leading public metropolitan research university. Aside from helping UCF recruit and retain exceptional faculty, tenure helps protect academic freedom and encourages faculty to focus on challenging and important problems to benefit society.<\/p>\n“These faculty members who earned promotion and tenure met a lofty and demanding bar in demonstrating excellence and high productivity over several years in teaching, research, and service,\u201d says Michael D. Johnson, UCF’s provost and executive vice president for Academic Affairs. \u201cI am confident this group will make a significant contribution to UCF\u2019s future success.\u201d<\/p>\n
