Faculty member — tenure status

tenure status (FacultyMember.tenureStatus) is a field stored on each faculty member record in Chalk, the higher-education academic operations platform for curriculum, assessment, faculty, scheduling, accreditation, and budget. It holds a String value and is part of the faculty member record's data. The tenureStatus field belongs to the faculty member it is recorded on, so faculty, staff, and automations read or set tenureStatus while working with that FacultyMember record. Because tenureStatus is part of the FacultyMember record, it stays consistent with the rest of that record's data and is scoped to the tenant that owns the faculty member.
