is it safe to assume all associate profs are tenured?

[giacomo]

unless they specifically say they aren't in their cv, etc.?

I don't know how to define "safe," but I have seen untenured associates that did NOT list it on their CV. Obviously, most associates are tenured.

Outside of a few places, mostly Ivy League schools, all but a tiny few associate professors are tenured. But some universities--again, mostly Ivy--promote people from untenured assistant to untenured associate. Those universities have longer tenure clocks than the norm. So, a second-year or third-year associate professor at Harvard or Yale quite likely is untenured. But someone who is at most other universities and/or has been an associate more than four or five years almost certainly is tenured.
