Haggerty emphasized that the revised tenure expectations aim to align librarianship with research productivity, stating, "The purpose of this is to strengthen tenure by increasing the integrity of the way in which we measure teaching and scholarship." This reflects LSU’s desire to foster an environment where research contributions are recognized as central to academic success, thereby increasing their competitive edge toward AAU membership.
Provost Roy Haggerty articulated a shift in LSU's approach to librarianship, asserting, "It's not appropriate for librarians to receive tenure." He suggests that traditional library roles focus on access rather than the creation of knowledge, contradicting the tenure model that emphasizes research outputs, which is being recalibrated to enhance the university’s focus on measurable scholarly performance.
