I also feel like if achieving Tenure then allowed profs to stop "playing the game" and start "focusing on the students"...that getting rid of tenure means no one can ever stop "playing the game" and will never be able to "focus on the students". Personally I feel there are two different jobs in academia that need to be split up: Teaching students, and doing research. I feel that professors should be able to apple for jobs specifying a 60/40, 50/50, 75/25, 100/0, 0/100 split between those two roles. Don't make people research who just want to teach. And dont force students to suffer professors who don't want to teach them.
