[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some professors are lazy A holes. This might help get rid of them. Now we need term imits for congress and the Supreme Court.[/quote]

Only the top professors get tenure. It is very difficult. You don’t  know what you are talking about. [/quote]

Dude - I've seen plenty of half-assed, stupid, rich entitled white males with garbage research and spurious publishing get tenure - you're lying or fully ignorant if you think it's different than any other profession. [/quote]

Its pretty tough to be a lazy asshole when your department is being gutted and you now have 200 majors in your department, 4 tenured professors, an army of adjuncts and no secretaries. We all have huge advising loads, letters of recommendation to write, committees and service responsibilities out the wazoo, new course preps, independent studies, students requiring various avcommodations, grant writing, research, new technologies  to keep up with, etc. The days of professors sitting around drinking coffee ended like twenty years ago.  Those politicians are so out of touch![/quote]

Incompetent people still get tenure regardless of the load/volunteer work/research/publishing - that's another subject altogether. It favors white males and those that are preferred by other white males in academia. The data/evidence is there. You painting it with a broad brush of "oh it's hard" shows you don't know what you're talking about. [/quote]
