This is not really about ecology, but I think some people here could agree with
the following statement (from the book "Applied Economics - thinking beyond
stage one" by Thomas Sowell):
...a common but paradoxical phenomenon at many universities—the outstand-
ing young teacher who is terminated, to the consternation of his
students, who may even mount organized protests, usually in vain.
It is even common on some campuses to hear the "teacher of the
year" award referred to as "the kiss of death" for young faculty
members. That is because outstanding teaching is very time-con-
suming, in terms of creating high-quality courses and preparing
each lecture in these courses, so that there is insufficient time left
for doing the amount and quality of research required for getting
tenure at a top university. Such institutions usually fill their senior
positions by hiring those people who have already produced the
requisite quantity and quality of publications somewhere else.
