faculty scream at administrators, blow off classes, block technology improvements, etc

Wow - I've experienced that...over and over.

The IT folks shudder at faculty who refuse to become come to terms with change. Or how about those who teach online courses and never “show up” —seen that too. The publisher creates a course and the prof simply monitors if that — no interaction whatsoever.

The institution has to be able to fire them. Period.

The example I heard was professors who are addicted to the feel of chalk between their fingers. Even though a chalkboard, and chalk dust, literally cuts the lifespan of hard drives in the room in half.
