How Much Does Tenure Cost?
- lionhearted 16y agoInteresting article. The main argument for tenure is that it lets a professor focus on what they want to do without worrying about politics or backlash. The main argument against is that once employment is guaranteed regardless of performance, some people don't care as much about performing well. There's merits to both arguments. I think all things considered, I'd prefer to have anyone instructing me or someone I cared about not having guaranteed employment regardless of performance.
