How is how how got tenure relevant as to whether or not he has tenure?
See my previous post, as Professor Adams DID ALREADY HAVE TENURE, it was that the leftists in the UNC-W denied him the normal promotion track due to his non-academic speeches and writings. The implicit intent by the administrators was to drive him out by closing the door on his professional life and compensation. When he was a moderate-leftist and an atheist, he was in their mainstream and was, at that time granted tenure.
