Getting Over the Associate Professor Hump - A Case for Post-tenure Review "Associate professors face crucial choices in the years immediately after tenure. Their aspirations to excel as scholars can go unrealized if they do not fiercely protect the time and intellectual space for scholarly endeavors. Indeed, I sometimes fear I'm in danger of becoming that terminal associate professor who spurns his long-term loves of teaching and research for the promiscuity of a million service obligations. Serving on a search committee can provide immediate gratification (and the illusion of a long-term contribution to departmental joy) with the outcome of a "good hire." Writing a good article takes a lot longer, and nobody really thanks me for that. I'm still sitting on an encouraging "revise and resubmit" for an article I sent out two years ago. I'll get to that work soon, right?"
