While faculty at the state's public research universities-Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma-will keep their tenure, new teaching staff at the 23 affected colleges will shift to renewable contracts tied to "teaching effectiveness, student completion, job placement, and economic alignment."

"The Big 12 Conference will not tolerate any behavior that targets or demeans others," the league said in a statement Sunday.

Public regional universities, which educate more than 54,000 students in the state combined, "shall not grant new lifetime tenure appointments," the order states. Instead, they may hire faculty under fixed-term, renewable contracts, and the renewals are dependent on professors' performance, student outcomes, "alignment with workforce and Oklahoma economic needs" and "institutional service." Faculty members at these institutions who already have tenure may retain it.
