Who is going to decide whether professor is smart?
- User23 5y agoThe other smart professors. Which is exactly how it worked in the now distant past.
- varjag 5y agoSo what you are saying is, peer review.
- rscho 5y agoWhich is exactly how it still works in many places. You have to be co-opted and have the vote of your peers. This doesn't do anything to ensure those elected are able. It ensures they are politically desirable.
- dagw 5y agoWon't those professors then just hire people that agree with their pet theories?
- achillesheels 5y agoThose professors in the distant past flourished in a more spiritual age. They did not treat themselves as professionals nor had a sense of “career”.
