Increasingly, plaintiffs from academe allege that “collegiality” in
the tenure review process codes for “discrimination.” Consider this:
A biology professor at a Midwestern university, the only woman in
her department, is denied tenure, despite an exemplary record of
research and publications, because her department objected to her
handling of a letter of recommendation for an undergraduate and took
umbrage at her criticism of a colleague’s work. Finding her collegiality
wanting, they voted to deny her tenure.
