Should I assume from this cryptic post that congratulations are in order?

This is indeed a Veiled Reference. According to the dean’s voice mail (I seem not to be able to get beyond that part) the final step, to take place next week, will be a rubber stamp—but things nonetheless remain a bit semi-official.

Congrats! Not that anyone’s surprised :)

Aw, heck—I just got an email message inviting me to the official board-of-trustees congratulations reception. I figure, if it’s official enough for an invite, it’s official enough for the happy dance…
Ten-ure! Ten-ure! I got! Ten-ure!

Hooray! That’s fantastic news! Congratulations.
2 December 2003, 12.10 pm

What an exhilaratng end to the semester. Congratulations!

When it’s all official like eh will ya offer us a definition of “tenure”? In between the whooping and the dance steps? :)
2 December 2003, 2.59 pm
Here’s a stab:
Tenure is a lifetime ticket to the middle class.
(Credit where credit is due: this definition has been pilfered from a colleague.)
Thanks for the good wishes, all. Needless to say, after a bit of a rough start, it’s been a great day.

Great news! Cheers to our little college for coming through, both for you and for us, your students. Congrats!

I’d not been following recent news closely enough—of course you’d mentioned the review but I’d forgotten a conclusion to the drama was imminent.
Huzzah!

Kathleen, that’s so exciting! What lovely news with which to start my day. Now you can scratch that backup plan to become governor.

Congratulations!
