[quote=Anonymous]Most tenured faculty in my field are "one and done" - they write their single book in order to get tenure, and then do the bare minimum or even less for the next 4 to 5 decades. And doing away with mandatory retirement for tenured faculty was a crime. My own dissertation supervisor is turning 80 this month, and he hasn't published a book since the 1970s!! And yet he is drawing a full time salary, teaching from the same notes he was using a decade agoand a decade before that, and basically leaving a huge void in a small department. He's the loveliest guy, but there is nothing to prevent this sort of outcome in the system as it is structured today. [/quote]
