"I speak from experience: if you have the pubs, they CANNOT keep you out."

I am glad that your experience was different, but I am sorry to inform you that you are wrong. They can most certainly keep you out by withholding their tenure vote, by smearing your reputation, and by making your job so difficult to do that there is no reason to stay.

They can't make your job difficult if you don't let them. There are rules as to how much anyone can teach, etc. So what if you have all 8:00 classes? I could care less.

Again, it's all pubs. If you have the pubs, you have the clout at any university.
