Good for him. Tenure in our colleges is one of the malignancies eating away at our country.....
Oh crikes $18 trillion in debt, 92 million out of work and he’s worried about 996 Wisconsin college professors who have managed after years of publishing etc etc to finally get tenure. That’s 996 out of 3470 teaching faculty in WI so less than 30%. Its a non issue. I can hear the MSM now “college drop out attacks the university system” Way to open yourself up for flak Scotty.
Ted Cruz is the sizzle. Walker is the Steak.
This is such a good, conservative issue. Universities have turned into liberal, money-sucking cancers and Walker is moving to get them in line. Cut budgets, make they get rid of useless or liberal advocacy classes, and make it easier to get rid of liberal nutcase professors. Its all good.
Do they teach?
I thought they just had a student teach the course while they pontificate.
This is a good move on Walker’s part. The left has taken over academia, the media, and the entertainment industry. That is why half the country is ignorant and depraved. The left have to be dislodged from these institutions, and one has to start somewhere.
The left has been killing us incrementally for decades and you’re criticizing Walker for attempting to rid us of tenure in academia? We need to stop the indoctrination by our universities and ending tenure is a great place to start.
Walker should be applauded.
Doing away with tenure's a good way to protect free speech AND improve the quality of education... a twofer.
Tenure's allowed the Grubers of Academia to turn 'teaching the young' into teaachless sinecures for the lazy and corrupt. Good for Walker.
It’s about time we started reeling in these Humbert Humberts.
All tenure should be a abolished. The universities have turned into bastions of far left extremism, where any form of conservative opinion is SMOTHERED/CRUSHED And conservative e speakers are regularly banned from eve speaking at these institutions. We should be actively waging a war against tenure and these Stalinist academics.
Let’s propose:
1. Top 10% Teachers will keep tenure
2. Top 50% (50-90%) will get partial tenure. If they do a good job then they can work for the next two years
3. Top 26-49% will get no tenure. They might get to work next year.
4, Bottom 25% will be replaced with conservatives that can teach about real WORLD experiences. They may not stay long enough to get tenure.
Real competiton and results.
Humbert Humberts? Sorry, but I never heard that phrase

Sounds like someone has a dog in the fight?
<>Its a non issue.<>
You sure are touchy about something that is a non issue.
Well, Walker does need to undermine Universities some more, given he did not get a degree and had a 2.59 grade point average.(C+)
Contrast graduating cum laude and magna cum laude from Princeton and Harvard Law School.
I’ve heard of a movie many years ago that was called “Lolita” but never seen it, because it simply did not interest me
Humbert Humbert was a college professor who married Charlotte Haze to get a crack at her "nymphet" daughter Lolita. It ends badly for everybody.
i have been in the workforce for over 40 years..
my so called “tenure” is my performance...
why should this be any different at the college level?
