I don't know if Professor Lipstadt is tenured at Emory; however, her university title is Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish History and Holocaust Studies. She established the Institute for Jewish Studies and was the director from 1998 to 2008. She directs the website "Holocaust Denial on Trial" http.hdot.org. I would refer you to this website https://jerz.setonhill.edu/about/tenure/.
The page title is: "Tenure: What is It?" Frankly, I can see a lot of advantages not to be tenured. The subject is thoroughly covered - easy to read.
@RichardStokes I must disagree with you. I believe it is important to thoroughly research a public speaker, author, whomever I form an opinion about before I share my opinion top anyone - a casual conversation with a friend or in a public discussion space as this one. Professor Lipstadt is a heavy scholar (to use your descriptive). Whether or not you agree with her opinions is a different subject, but one cannot call her a "light weight scholar."
I would suggest that you read further into the trial (which will take a long time) and examine the decision on the appeal. There are many sites that twist facts trying to cause their version of history to appeal to the readers of such sites. If you read through the trial documents you will be reading the facts. Professor Lipstadt was correct and accurate in everything she wrote, said, and taught - just as she continues to be in her latest book "Antisemitism: Here and Now" (2018).
