C;mon guys, let's not be hypocritical. You're defending BOR at the same time you're denying her her 1A rights.

Tenure exists to protect the individual from the administration, just like the BOR. A proven research professor earns tenure, and can then express their opinions without fear of retribution just because the powers that be disagree.
Tenure protect good teachers and bad teachers too. Just like a union. The only people that suffer are the students.

True.

However, service of students is why we hire teachers in the first place, and why tenure is a bad idea today. It was put in place to ensure a free exchange of ideas in academic environments. Today there is no such thing and it only keeps far out leftist loons from being fired for doing things that would get anyone else fired anywhere else.

Those with conservative beliefs aren't allowed to achieve tenure in the first place.

I hate to take on an A&M professor, and a lady at that, but might not repeal of the 2nd let the Feds ban guns? Of course there would be no explicit grant to the Feds of that power, but that has not stopped them yet. To wit, "interstate commerce" and "necessary and proper."

I think repealing tenure for college professors would be a more productive initiative. It would allow those who have descended into ranting insanity to be culled from the ranks.
