You call it what you want...I call tenure a fraud, that could only exist in government or government schools, that allow people to keep their jobs for life if desired, regardless of their performance....I dunno...it sure seems like another lottery style entitlement/benefit for government employees to me.

You can call it whatever you want, but you're wrong. Tenure is in every private university I know of as well as public. I'm unaware of very many government bureaucratic possessions that have tenure (even if it is very difficult to fire someone, it is not because of some kind of tenure system). Thus, the common thread of tenure is in that of academia not "publicly-funded". This is not controversial, just do some basic reading on the history of western civilization and the academic system.

Yeah, someone already mentioned that, but the fact is, I am not subsidizing private schools with my tax money. Ya see what I mean?

Question:

Is it not wrong for all the bloated government schools to grant tenure to it's government employees?
