tenure
含义: The holding of a position, especially an academic post with a permanent or long-term contract; also, the conditions under which land or property is held.
Academic tenure provides professors with strong job security, protecting them from dismissal except in extraordinary circumstances. The tenure system is intended to safeguard academic freedom by allowing researchers to pursue controversial ideas without fear of losing their jobs. In property law, tenure refers to the terms under which someone holds land — freehold and leasehold are common types. 'During his tenure as chair' is a standard phrase meaning 'while he held the position.'
