<p>Sen. Obama was invited to join the full time faculty but that would only mean he would be in a tenure-track position, not that he would be given tenure immediately. Sen. Obama has no significant legal publications that would justify granting him tenure. If he had been given tenure immediately, it would have been a fraud on the other faculty who actually earned their tenure.</p>
