“Ban tenure for all so called professors”.

Know what I would like banned? Ban the mandatory sale of books written or co-authored by the professor so they get $ from the students. Each class has required books... some of those books will have the professors name in it somewhere. Thus, the professor gets paid. Plus, they have this neat trick (told to me by a college professor) that they will change some of the wording/paragraphs and create a “new” edition. New editions have to be purchased as new and not “used” (lower priced). The professor makes $ again.

I would actually like to see professors who you can actually understand what they’re saying.

I bought required books (written by the prof) that had nothing to do with the class I was taking. The books were required but never used. Just a straight money grab.
