The results of initial tenure reviews across the state’s public universities show that most faculty in Florida — 91 percent — either met or exceeded the expectations set by their universities, a performance that earned them bonuses or raises. But the outcome was more damaging for a small minority. More than 60 faculty members statewide didn’t meet expectations and were given one year to course correct or else face termination, in addition to the 10 that were shown the door this year.

So the vast majority of faculty are doing their jobs just fine, and those who weren't faced scrutiny and potential discipline.
