undergraduate research with a faculty mentor. The national average is 35%.

of UMN Morris faculty are tenured or in tenure-track positions. The national average is 21%. (aaup.org/issues/tenure)
WHAT EXACTLY IS TENURE? Tenure is an academic appointment that is more or less permanent. A tenured faculty member is protected from termination, as long as they do their job and do it well. It's important because it allows faculty to do research that benefits all of us—it protects their academic freedom and allows them to find and share answers to critical questions without fear of losing their jobs.
