Navigating Tenure in Times of Change: Lessons from the Mitchell Hamline Merger

We discuss the story of how the Mitchell Hamline School of Law, born from the merger of two established institutions, undertook the complex process of rewriting its tenure code. As mergers in higher education become more common, the challenges of blending distinct cultures, policies, and faculty expectations are increasingly in the spotlight. Our guests are Linda Hanson, president emerita at Hamline University, and David Larson, law professor at the Mitchell Hamline School of Law and a Senior Fellow at the Dispute Resolution Institute. Thank you for tuning in to this episode of Degrees of Impact, where we explore innovative ideas and the people behind them in higher education.
