Tenured profs are generally paid to take a sabbatical and a lot of times are expected to write something to be published while they're gone.

- claudiulodro 5y agoThat's a neat (sort-of) perk. I didn't know that. Thanks!
- gnicholas 5y agoApplies to pre-tenure professors (on the tenure track) as well. They do research/writing during this time if they want to be promoted. But once you reach the highest rank (full professor), there's not much your university can do if you aren't productive. Many professors are of course still motivated by internal drive, but there aren't strong external controls that can be exerted.
