Jacksonville State University Trustees Approve Resolution to Implement New Higher Education Governance Law in Alabama

The Jacksonville State University Board of Trustees has approved a resolution to begin implementing Alabama's new state law, Act 2026-432, which governs faculty senates, tenure reviews, and academic curricula for all four-year public universities in the state. This law, effective October 1, requires formal tenure policies, post-tenure reviews at least every six years, and outlines grounds for discipline or dismissal.
