IHL; require board to conduct a review of tenured professors every five years.
HB 160 would require Mississippi's Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning to conduct formal reviews of tenured professors at all public universities every five years. The bill mandates that the board establish specific criteria and components for these evaluations, though it does not detail the exact standards. This policy directly affects tenured faculty members across Mississippi's public higher education institutions. The legislation amends existing law to implement this mandatory review process without specifying the evaluation metrics.
