Tenure

I am completely against tenure. Don't get me wrong, I believe that professors who work hard and deserve it should get benefits, but from personal experience, all of my profs who were tenured absolutely and outrightly suck.

One of my stat profs made it a point for every class to rant on politics and how much he hates democrats (he's a living dinosaur). Then he makes us buy one of his books because he assigns problems from it. Not only does the prof suck, the book was also shoddy. There were numerical errors that we pointed to him constantly (!). He was so confident on his book, he even said on the first day of class, "For every error you find, I'll give you bonus points." Where are my bonus points?

This and more complaints from friends who had profs in tenure has led me to believe that tenure does in fact make profs worse. Not in terms of laziness, but in terms of not caring for their students. They only care for their research, and that is their downfall.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
