A compilation of historical tenure rates in EE/CS across well-known universities: Caltech EAS (100%), Carnegie Mellon (80%), UPenn (75%), Harvard/Yale (60%), Berkeley/UCLA EECS (66%), Stanford & MIT EECS (50%). The author notes that statistically, at Caltech's Engineering division, the initial job offer effectively serves as the final tenure decision — once hired, faculty essentially sail through to tenure.
