All they can do is ask the FRB to revisit the decision. When the board is trying to decide whether or not to give a professor tenure, they weigh a number of different factors. The professor needs to be excellent in either teaching or research. Service to the college is important as well, but teaching and research are the two essentials. One question still being considered is whether or not attention should be paid to teacher evaluations.
Student evaluations are also an important part of the tenure process.
The tenure committee consults several different students that have had the professor being examined. Students are given questions to answer about the professor and his effectiveness in the classroom as well as outside of the classroom.
