Ignacio Chapela Granted Tenure at Berkeley

The University of California, Berkeley's Chancellor, Robert Birgeneau, has announced his administration's intention of granting Ignacio Chapela tenure. Chapela's response to this decision is available on his website, Pulse of Science. Please continue to visit our website for information on future controversies in the academy. Posted 5/20/05

Ignacio Chapela: Tenure at Berkeley

The tenure case of Dr. Ignacio Chapela has garnered an unusual level of national and international attention. The Berkeley Faculty Association is deeply concerned by any potential chilling of academic freedom at this institution and we have charged a special committee to consider the broad implications of this case for free and open inquiry at UC Berkeley.

We are also compiling a list of colleagues who we will update as this situation develops. Scholars wishing to make their concerns public may ask to have their name (and institutional affiliation) added to the list below. Requests to be added to our contact list and/or have your name posted on this website should be emailed to the Berkeley Faculty Association.
