Practice

    verb
    Present participle and gerund of tenure.

    The department is tenuring two researchers after their strong record of publication.

    The board delayed tenuring her until the start of the next academic year.

    Note

    A verb built from only one sense of the noun, the academic one. Tenuring never means holding feudal land or occupying an office in general. The verb is transitive, so the person who receives tenure follows directly as its object: a university tenuring a lecturer. The gerund keeps that object as well (the board delayed tenuring her), and without one the phrase sounds unfinished.
