Dude, you are the one in denial. You admit you have not facts. You obviously are not in academia; haven't read Vedder's book; have no clue about the statistics. You have no idea how search committees work; why tenure actually protects conservatives; or why the process would be even worse for conservatives (if you don't change anything else) without tenure. Spouting off is one thing. Try some factual data.

Your answer is the consumers are stupid: this, of course, is what the Dems always say with every election loss. The consumers know exactly what they want, and right now they are emphasizing COST over value (i.e., the quality of the education).

There is NOTHING in tenure/hiring stats that indicates it would have much of an impact on the problems.

No facts, true, but I do like to make my "betters" drool with their tongues hanging out.. lisping is just a perk.. it gives me a sense of empowerment.. You are my "better", true.. I'm just a "serf".. a really extreme extremist..

"Do I not bleed like you, or feel pain when pricked", or "feel helpless when un-enabled".?.
Actually, NO, I don't..

I'm a hard head.. I could break things with my head. I'm so dumb that I post mainly for Lurkers.. There are a hundred Lurkers for every poster out here..

Can you feel the earth shaking preparing for the education "ENRON" expose'..
I can.. feels good too... OH! the credit card debt that will lie unpaid when tenure is absolved and heads roll.. makes me almost orgasmic at the thought.. The big houses in default.. The IRA's unrequited, the financial ruin of the left wing professors and RINOs.. makes me jump for joy.. Sure, a few so-called conservatives will be hit too but like they say.. You gotta break some eggs to make an omelet..

(Jaws theme)
The education "ENRON" expose' is begging to HAPPEN...
Collegiate Affirmative action hiring IS racism..
An affirmative action slot placement is the same.
