Another fine example of the "tolerant" left

He's proven he can teach, based on the reviews of the students, but how's his research. Essentially, tenure decisions come down to whether or not you've published. Teaching is an afterthought in the process.
Is this possibly a preemptive strike to cloud the issue because he is not publishing?

Wasn't it IU that allowed a porn flick to be filmed at its dorms?


Well, perhaps it's time for the good professor to find another university...ahhhh Texas A&M, University of Tennessee, University of Alabama...ahhhh University of South Carolina...are some that come to mind.

He probably debated the tenured Professors and they didn't like it!

OF COURSE he can't have tenure! He thinks differently from a NORMAL college professor.

Actually, this guy has a great Hollywood face. If he can act, he'd be a natural. When I first saw the picture, I thought it was a scene from a movie.

IUPUI Professor Florence Roisman, eh?

I thought that name sounded familiar

Professor Bradford is a frequent commentator in local and national media on laws of war issues regarding Iraq and the War on Terror. (UILAW)

Professor Florence Roisman seems to be an advocate for the Homeless, the Poor and Minorities based on her publications.

People do not have to pass some sort of leftist "litmus test". His opponent has expressed her opinion, and now she should shut up, because her opinion doesn't count more than anyone else's. If she doesn't like her colleagues at the University, she can go somewhere else. How many careers have to be ruined by left-wing bozos at the universities? I'm looking forward to the day when the left wingers who think they run our universities either die or retire.

BTW--going public with the "they're not going to give me tenure" whine is the kiss of death (regardless of whether he is good or not). Its the academic equivalent of whistleblowing.

The administration at IUPUI says Bradford will get a "fair shake….because there are many levels to the tenure process.” "So there will be a number of people looking at it and a number of people beyond the law school that will be involved in the decision,” said Richard Schneider, IUPUI spokesperson.

That's being surprisingly blunt about his poor chances at the law-school level of the process.

I'm sure his views don't help, but the bottom line in university "teaching" is publications. DOES HE HAVE THEM?

Forget his popularity with students.

Everyone knows this game going in, and it's a little hypocritical of conservatives to complain about "bias" if they DON'T have the pubs---and I speak from experience: if you have the pubs, they CANNOT keep you out.
