Yes, it time to end tenure in Utah, or so a state rep claims in his bill. There are several versions of the story, here's one on Bloomberg.com from the AP: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-02-15/lawmaker-s-bill-would-end-tenure-for-utah-profs.html
So, is it just a matter of time before tenure for state colleges and universities is ended in some/most/all states? After all, there are all these new Ph.D.s that can be hired at an assistant prof's salary level which supposedly would replace the "unproductive deadwood" that has accumulated at the associate and full professor levels? The "superstar" professors will always justify their position by earning several times their yearly salary in indirect costs from the grants they get. Anyone think that it can't happen? -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
