… total re-development. The reason I say that is I have come to understood criminological theories that explain why crime happens, and mental health issues are a big part of the problem. It is almost to the point where crime has really become not a criminal justice problem … problem but rather a mental health problem, as nearly half of all crimes are committed by people with a history of mental health issues (Evans Cuellar, McReynolds & Wasserman, 2006). Instead of getting the mental health treatment they need, these people become self-destructive, break laws because they … nation together are lost and washed away. The structures and systems in place are unfair and unhealthy. They do not address the root issues at the heart of almost half of all crime. Mental health problems are very real in this country—but our criminal justice system seems ……

Higher Education Labor Rights Faculty Tenure

Pages: 5 (1587 words) Sources: 6 Document Type:Essay Document #:61972797

...Personal issues Tenure refers to a legally secure position, an “indefinite appointment” at an institute of higher learning (AAUP, 2019, p. 1). Of course, extenuating circumstances may enable the educational institution to sever the contract and terminate the tenured faculty. One of those extenuating circumstances would be financial exigency: an unavoidable and unfortunate situation in which the institution experiences severe budget shortfalls and must completely reconsider reallocating resources in order to remain viable at all.

Other extenuating circumstances that would legally permit the institution to terminate tenured faculty would be serious legal or ethical violations.
