It's nice to live in a world where actions have consequences. When the media coverage got too much, Marc Tessier-Lavigne finally had to resign as president of Stanford, so he could focus on his job as a Stanford professor.
- jbullock35 2y agoI can't tell whether your post is a joke. Yes, Tessier-Lavigne was forced to resign. But Stanford let him stay on as a professor. That was terrible: they should have kicked him out of the university.
- tyre 2y agoThey are joking.
- okintheory 2y agoI also can't tell whether Stanford is joking, but the notion that he's a good fit for the job of biology professor is definitely funny!
- rossdavidh 2y agoI'm no expert, but I suspect it is a longer process to remove someone from a tenured professor position, than to remove them as President. We don't know that they won't eventually happen.
- shermantanktop 2y agoThere are betrayals so severe that a grindingly slow due process is actually itself an addition betrayal. Not arguing for a kangaroo court, but tenure should not be a defense for blatant cheating.
