Your research record was good enough, but you have failed on other dimensions including teaching and service. You are not a good fit for this department.
Tenure denied
-
NOBODY gets denied tenure based on teaching or service. If someone's research record is good but teaching and service are lacking, they would normally be given a 1-2 year extension with the expectation that they serve on some committee and get good evals. Or the chair would just tell them a year or two before tenure time that they'd have to step up in those other dimensions. The fact that this didn't happen means they wanted to get rid of this individual.

There is no such thing. Fabricating information in tenure review process is illegal. Your department can be sued.

I have not seen anyone ever fail tenure based on service. However, I have seen several candidates, who met the minimum research bar fail tenure based on poor teaching. The last one I saw was even given an extra year to bring up the teaching, but still did a poor job in the classroom. She went to another research school and did get tenure. Most fail tenure based on research because that is the most difficult component to achieve. Yet, there are always edge cases of people who are convinced that teaching is irrelevant and fail on that dimension. One just needs to be competent in teaching but some can't seem to manage even that effort level.

Is ILLEGAL? Is that under federal or state law?
