My Alma-Mater, more interested in hiring administrators than new professors, or even retaining full time professors. Schools a joke, especially this one.

- munk-a 4y agoYup - a relative of mine has been an associate professor there for fourteen years. Giving out tenure is something I'm pretty sure they'll only do if they're backed into a corner.
- hackyhacky 4y agoAssociate professors are typically tenured. Did you mean assistant professor?
- thwayunion 4y agoTypically. Not always. Some institutions/departments will promote to associate without tenure. At those same places, they'll typically let you stick around for quite a while as long as you keep bringing in the money. In every field there are at least a few departments that are notoriously stingy with tenure.
- munk-a 4y agoNo, they are an associate professor - although I may have misspoken about tenure, I am not certain about their status. I was under the assumption that associate professors weren't covered to the same extent.
- janalsncm 4y agoThe president and dean of my school both made $2 million each last year. I have no idea what they do. They definitely aren’t teaching any students. The school emailed me to ask for a donation, and I said they should ask the dean.
