Tenure

Don’t known if this belongs better here or in General but here is my question: What is your opinion on the concept of tenure? Supporters says it is necessary for academic freedom. Critics say it encourages professors to be come unmotivated and lazy. Here is a Wiki link for some more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenure Personally, I side with the academic freedom perspective. I have had at least one professor who seemed to meet the lazy tenured professor profile perfectly (Let me put it this way he was a math professor and it took him multiple attempts to properly calculate our grades.) but I believe guys like him are a minority.

I don’t have much to say on this topic but I was curious about other people’s opinions.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
