Can you fire tenured faculty? I thought that was not possible (and what tenure was about)?

  Tenure prevents you from being fired individually but does not protect you if your whole department is axed. That may be why the cuts are structured the way they are (entire departments) rather than culling specific faculty in departments that are over staffed relative to enrollment.

    ah okay, this makes sense!
