I'm still trying to understand how Churchill became a tenured professor, much less the head of a department without his doctorate.
Rabinowitz also drew fire in November when the program offered a temporary teaching position to 1960s radical Susan Rosenberg. Rosenberg was indicted but never tried in a 1981 armored car robbery that left a guard and two police officers dead.
Perhaps Churchill was hired under a program similar to that administered by Rabinowitz: Wanted: Lefty delusional kook for department head. Experience in terrorism desired, but will consider poseur.
Tenure today is based on the ability to get along with others in the department, hand out A's like candy so student evals are uniformly good, and crank out useless but PC papers for peer review, while logrolling with other professors to do the same.
Liberals run ethnic studies programs on most college campuses, and most liberals don't get along with anyone who disagrees with them because they're not just liberal, they're stupid.
Churchill had a great shot at tenure in the modern system of 'higher education.'
