“That’s not the way it works at all. Go back to first grade.”

So, we first graders are in our seats, are you going to tell us how it works now?

There are photos here:

There is a photo of the police leading away a woman, wearing a green sweater, with longish dirty-blonde curled hair. Definitely NOT this woman in the pink sweater with blackish straight hair.

Have two women been arrested?

Are you a Jaguar? I’m a Jag with a BSEE in ‘89 and a MSEE in ‘90. I have not been back to the campus for years (until a couple of weeks ago.) WOW! What a lot of construction.

“Those in the private sector don’t get tenure. “

No. Private universities also use tenure. It is a class system traditionally designed to keep the “best” faculty at the school.

She brought a gun with her-perhaps they were on the right track denying her tenure..

Here in Colorado, there is a big fight on campuses to allow students to carry weapons. After all, everybody on campus are adults or have their parents with them.

Tenure is supposed to allow teachers the freedom to teach truth and not be subject to the whims of politics and personal animosities. For example, I know of one case when a band director was fired because a school board member’s son was caught by the police “rolling” the director’s yard. Although the director hadn’t called the police, the kid was caught by the police just driving by, and the miscreant only had to clean it up, the teacher was fired. He did not have tenure.

Before tenure was awarded, abuse of power was rampant. Now the pendulum has swung the other direction and bad teachers are given a free pass.
