Princeton and Yale, for specific examples, have a reputation for giving tenure to very few tenure-track faculty, and instead hiring many of their tenured faculty with immediate tenure by recruiting them from other schools. So tenure-track jobs at these schools might be better thought of as very prestigious postdoctoral positions. However, once you look at schools other than the extremely elite ones, the tenure rates become more reasonable. | |

I'd argue that this question is not well-posed, and maybe a better one is: "to what extent does a Ph.D from a high/low ranked school affect your chances of getting a faculty job at a high/low ranked school" | |
