Tenure is a Leftist institution so that all the flaming Libs teaching CAN'T lose their jobs and they don't even have to go to work. Look how tough it was to get rid of the phony Ward Churchill. I have a friend who teaches in the CSU system. Long about February she called and started babbling about how glad she was she had tenure so she won't be losing her job. I said ‘yeah, and the Teachers Unions gave so much to Obama that you all will have jobs forever’. I haven't talked to her since.

Many unemployed probably wished they had had tenure with the companies they just left. Can someone explain the reason why some professors should be assured of lifetime employment?
