They need to eliminate the tenure system. If they got rid of all the professors like this guy, the cost of a college degree would be cut in half, and the quality would go up.

I doubt the dude is tenured.

Gotta love this: He is co-author of several published articles on the use of Hip Hop and African American Rhetoric to enhance student literacy and stimulate transformative social action.

Dunno if eliminating tenure would be a good thing. Just think - most of the board and faculty of most unversities are liberals, if not commies and socialists. Who are the going to rid of first - the few conservative professors who made it past the process, or their fellow travelers?

That is brilliant.

In the context of American civil liberties (to write, speak and publish freely) is tenure (a vestige of the Middle Ages where no one was free to do any of that stuff) not obsolete?

Yes they do, but I suspect this guy's just a teaching assistant.

Also, if this was a rhetoric paper, invoking God might not be the best persuasive strategy, depending on the audience the student was asked to write for/persuade. If someone told you reparations were right because Mohammed said so, you might not be persuaded.

He is a "doctoral student". He is not a professor of any variety. He is not tenured.
