I know that research professors are paid by the grant. Without a grant, they have no funding and lose their laboratory and position. Sometimes, a little bit of office politics and diplomacy help in getting ahead or just staying afloat. But in case a research professor fails to receive a grant in a long time, does that mean the university will dismiss the faculty member, provided that the faculty member has no tenure (a tenured professor may receive a deduction in salary, while the salary is paid by the university)? How much time does the faculty member have to make the transition to a new job - working for someone else as a research assistant/associate/scientist, working as a teaching professor, changing career to something else? What kind of dismissal would that be called? Basically, I would like to know what happens when research professors struggle and fail to win a grant. 50.4.236.254 ( talk) 03:21, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for your response. If a research professor (untenured) is dismissed from the university because the appointment is not renewed, then does that mean he has to apply to a different job position? If there is an open teaching faculty position that fits his background in whatever university, then he may apply, hopefully a couple of months beforehand so he doesn't get a gap in employment? Do tenure-track assistant and associate professors have teaching obligations too? How does a tenure-track assistant or associate professor get promoted to Professor? 50.4.236.254 ( talk) 11:40, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
I know the Titanic II is a planned vessel. But will it have the title of MS, MV, RMS, or SS? (Please note: I'm not using Wikipedia as a crystal ball or anything like that.) 2604:2000:7113:9D00:292B:BF29:E91:CAA5 ( talk) 08:33, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
Immediately before the Representation of the People Act 1832, if you owned freehold of £2 or more in a borough, and if you qualified for the franchise in that borough (but you owned no land anywhere else, were not a university graduate, and did not qualify to vote in any other way in any other constituency), could you vote only in the borough, or could you vote both in the borough and in the county in which the borough lay? Nyttend ( talk) 15:16, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
(7 & 8 Will 3 c.25). This laid down that at county elections the sheriff or his representative should 'set down the names of each freeholder and the place of his freehold and for whom he shall poll', and also required the returning officers of all constituencies to deliver a copy of the poll 'to such person or persons as shall desire the same', implying that boroughs as well as counties would have a written-up poll book.
Thus by the time of the 1702 general election the system was essentially the same as it is now. The Reform Act 1832 seems to have tightened things up. Page 250 (which Google is not letting me see) says
No person could vote in a county in respect of a property that would confer on him a qualification to vote for a borough; but a freehold in a borough of the annual value of 40s., under 10 [pounds], entitled the owner to a vote for the county, and above 10 [pounds] if in the occupation of the tenant. If he occupied it himself he had no county vote.
