From Faculty Affairs Report:

All persons appointed to full-time wholly state-supported teaching
positions at East Carolina University should either be tenured at the
time of initial appointment or recipients of, tenure upon the
successful completion of an appropriate probationary period--save only
those who are visitors, temporary replacements, or for whose
disciplines the institution expects in good faith to have only a
short-term need. "Short-term" should mean usually two or three years,
but under no circumstances should exceed six years.

It is also recommended that the administration review all present
fixed-term appointments and, where appropriate in keeping with the
terms of the preceding statement, convert these appointments to
tenurable, probationary appointments.
