SINGAPORE: The Nanyang Technological University (NTU) has responded to the
outcry following news that Associate Professor Cherian George had been
denied tenure.
A university spokesperson said NTU has a rigorous tenure process and all NTU
faculty staff seeking tenure goes through the same process.
More than 1,000 faculty staff have gone through the process at NTU in the
last six years and so far, more than 55 per cent have been granted tenure.
The tenure review process is purely a peer-driven academic exercise
comprising internal and external reviewers.
The two equally important criteria are distinction in research and
scholarship, and high quality teaching.
Service and other contributions to the university, profession, or community
are also taken into consideration.
As all employment matters are confidential, NTU will not comment on any
specific cases.

SINGAPORE - Journalism professor Cherian George has rebutted comments made
by his former employer, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), that imply
he was forced to leave the university as he was unable to meet its academic
standards.
NTU president Bertil Andersson, in an interview with Times Higher Education
last month, had said the decision to deny Dr George tenure was an academic
decision and not a political one.
Dr George, who lectured at NTU's Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and
Information, was twice denied tenure - in 2009 and in 2013. NTU's decision
led to speculation that it was politically motivated due to Dr George's past
criticism of the Government.
Dr George, 49, left for a post at the Hong Kong Baptist University last year
and has described his move as a "forced exit". In a blog post last month,
he wrote that he could not let Professor Andersson's comment stand
uncorrected as it suggested that he "had to leave NTU because of academic
shortcomings".
Prof Andersson has since issued a clarification to Times Higher Education,
saying he had "no intention to lower the reputation or standing of Dr George
in his field of work".
But Dr George, who had originally asked for a retraction of the comment,
wrote that the clarification failed to "reduce the sting of his published
remarks". "The fair and gentlemanly thing to do would have been to retract
his remarks and ensure that no NTU official repeat such words," he wrote.
He added he was assessed to have met the criteria for promotion and tenure
in 2009 but was denied that, and given political reasons for the university'
s decisions.
Dr George in his blog invited NTU to disclose his tenure documents so that
the matter could be put to rest. Speaking to The Straits Times from Hong
Kong on Tuesday night, he said: "I have moved on, but unfortunately the NTU
president's out-of-the-blue remarks could not be left uncorrected."
NTU in a statement on Tuesday night said it has already stated its position
on several previous occasions and will not be making any further comments.
