Your point is valid of course. Abolishing tenure will not be easy nor is it on the immediate horizon. But in the spirit of being optimistic one must not overlook the impact the alumni can have. Further, if we could ever elect a truly conservative majority to the Congress, that Congress could simply make abolition of tenure a condition for an institution to receive federal grants. That would pretty much do it in a flash.
even still...so instead of tenured transgendered studies professors, you’ll have nontenured transgendered studies professors. You’ll have the same kids that will treat college as a place for guys to get drunk and girls to get wild. Tuitions will keep rising.
Abolishing tenure is a quick fix and I just don’t see it as the root of the problem.
