I am a bit confused about the recent storyline concerning the revocation of tenure at Walden College. Is GBT in favor of abolishing the practice of tenure?
The Doonesbury strips about tenure have not been about whether tenure is a good system as much as whether it’s a viable system. Given the inexorable trend towards ever-tightening marketplace efficiencies, it seems unlikely that the academy will remain the only place on earth with guaranteed lifetime employment.
