tenured graduate student
Jump to user comments
job One who has been in graduate school for 10 years (the
usual maximum is 5 or 6): a "ten-yeared" student (get it?).
Actually, this term may be used of any grad student beginning
in his seventh year. Students don't really get tenure, of
course, the way professors do, but a tenth-year graduate
student has probably been around the university longer than
any untenured professor.
