What this does is transfer power to university administrators, who are often just as liberal, or more so, than the typical tenured professor.

I'm not sure what impact this will have. Presumably those who have already won tenure can't have it removed without cause so it would affect future hires or tenure-track faculty who have not yet been awarded tenure. Private universities will not be affected. If a public university wanted to keep its tenure policies unchanged, how does this budget prevent them from doing so?

You didn’t read the article. The power is transferred to University REGENTS (Board of Director) who are appointed by the governor.

-—those who have already won tenure can’t have it removed without cause

its in the artitcle.. they can have it removed.

-—If a public university wanted to keep its tenure policies unchanged, how does this budget prevent them from doing so?

its in the article. In Wisconsin the tenure was in State law (the only State with it enshrined in law(. Now this power is in the hands of the Regents.

If you had heard the solid weeks of whining of the lefty professors you would understand that their ox was gored big time.

Here's what I think....

Why is it...that these "teachers" can get after so many months/years...jobs..where they can't be fired?

I know the debate/argument...but what other occupation had that...besides basically members of Congress?
