well, as a tenured prof, I've participated in hiring and even firing decisions. The management can veto these, but in many cases the faculty can, too. It's true that tenured profs can't set compensation. We may be management, but it's lower management. > This is one of the reasons why the Yeshiva decision is > such a travesty. yes, it was a travesty.

A collective bargaining agreement clarifies that line, among other things. (BTW, LMU _is_ becoming more corporate every day. But we still have this medieval commitment to teaching theology and philosophy and requiring that all students take them.)
