President Obama taught at the University of Chicago for twelve years. He was a senior lecturer, which corresponds at many schools to an adjunct professor. In 2008, the university's law school issued a public statement (in response to questions from the press) that explained how senior lecturers are in fact considered to be professors by the students, and it is accurate to refer to an adjunct professor as a professor. It should also be noted that not all full-time professors have tenure; I am a full-time professor, but the university at which I teach does not use a tenure system for its faculty. That said, Mr. Obama was not teaching at the University of Chicago Law School full-time, but the university liked his work and eventually, they made him an offer of a full-time tenure-track position; however, he had already decided to go into politics, so he declined their offer.
