Academic promotion and tenure are protected by established procedural, contractual, and constitutional rights. Unfortunately, many academic institutions attempt to avoid these rights. If you are encountering problems with your promotion and/or tenure process, you have come to the right place.
Myanna Dellinger, M.Sc., JD, PhD, is a practicing attorney and former tenured law professor working for several ABA-accredited law schools. She had to fight hard for tenure herself, but won. She knows first-hand how agonizing and difficult the journey towards tenure can be. This may even be the case despite little or no fault by the professor.

Myanna now provides legal consultation for other professors who are unjustly being denied tenure or who have related academic disputes. For example, she helps professors maneuver the highly complex and procedurally difficult tenure process before problems arise, renders advice based on law and institutional requirements, edits application materials for legal and procedural clarity to meet institutional requirements, negotiates with department deans, provosts, general counsel, and/or university presidents. If you are denied tenure, she will help you navigate the appeals or reconsideration process at your institution to ensure the best chances of a favorable outcome. If you have exhausted your institution’s internal procedures, she can advise you on whether litigation makes sense, and represent you in court (in California). She will also help you explore options to reach a negotiated resolution, as that may be swifter, less adversarial, and may lead to the best outcome.
Myanna has been a member of the California bar since 2009. Myanna is affiliated with David Frakt, a successful higher education lawyer and former law professor on the East Coast who has 30 years of legal experience. When it makes sense for your case, these attorneys can team up to provide you with the benefit of their combined experience.
