This might possibly provide some benefits for adjunct faculty (at the expense of tenure lottery winners): Demolishing the tenure class system may reduce the social stigma of being an adjunct vs. tenured faculty member. A noted elsewhere, a mythical possibility of future tenure may become slightly less usable for luring faculty into accepting lower pay. And since everyone is now an adjunct, adjunct salaries (which are usually terrible) may have to rise overall. Although it will probably still be much lower than traditional faculty salaries, as UT may attract more adjunct applicants. Adjunct hiring might change from a per-term model (which is terrible) to a yearly model or even longer. The result could possibly (hopefully?) be higher social status, higher pay, and better job security - for the lucky few adjuncts who manage to get faculty jobs at UT.
