nito100/Getty Images Giving just one day’s notice to the faculty governance chairs at its universities, the Kansas Board of Regents voted this week to allow for emergency employee terminations and suspensions. Tenured professors are no exception. All nine voting regents approved the temporary policy, which takes effect immediately and expires at the end of 2022. “In light of the extreme financial pressures placed on the state universities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, decreased program and university enrollment, and state fiscal issues,” any employee -- including one with tenure -- “may be suspended, dismissed, or terminated from employment by their respective university,” the policy says.
