My Most Controversial Academic Opinion

The effect of tenure in practice is to eject controversial professors from academia, not to shelter them. I would even go so far as to call this its intended function.

Think about what tenure is, in practice.

Step 1: You enter academia. As a post-doc you are expected to work gratuitously more hours than your contract stipulates, for very little pay with no job security. If you challenge the authority of your PI, your career is dead.

Step 2: Maybe more post-doc work, but maybe you move on to adjuncting. You work gratuitously more hours than your contract stipulates, you get paid very little with no job security, and if you express a hint of controversial views you will be let go.

Step 3: The primary way up to tenure track is intensive networking with existing figures in the university, getting in close with the administration, and brutally overworking yourself without complaint. You definitely absolutely cannot complain during this period.

Step 4: Tenure track! Time to brutally overwork yourself for gratuitously more hours than your contract stipulates again, killing yourself dead to earn that tenure. You cannot risk anything controversial during this period, unless it is a very carefully cultivated controversial that benefits the university.

Step 5: You made it! After more than a decade of allowing your work contract to be violated left and right, of overwork, of minimal respect, of no job security, flattering everyone above you on the chain, and never saying anything controversial ... you can be controversial. In theory.

In theory.

Now, before anyone says anything, I am aware of specific examples of tenure being used to protect the right to pursue controversial research. But in aggregate. What are the odds that someone who made it through this system is going to be a controversial researcher?

What are the odds that this person is going to see a grad student being overworked or abused, and use their position of privilege to complain to the administration about it? Hell what power do they actually have to do so? Actually for that matter, speaking of abuse.

If a tenured professor actually professionally abuses their students, screaming at them, bullying them, violating their work contracts, what can be done about that? Because let me tell you, I have been on the receiving end of that. I got personally informed by the grad student dean that he had literally no power to influence my advisor's behavior. The only thing he could do was a nuclear option to permanently ban the advisor from taking on grad students in the future, which I was told would almost certainly result in career retaliation.

And that nuclear option would be reserved for more serious cases anyway, like direct sexual assault of a student (note the implied: that might not be enough to get the advisor fired, just lose grad student privileges). Now I wasn't doing any especially controversial research as a student, but what about those who want to? Because it sure seems like the current system gives a blank check for their abuse at the hands of established uncontroversial academics for over a decade of their career. I can't help but think that might have a cooling effect on interest in controversial research.

Maybe. Just a little, you know?

Tenure says that the only people who get protection for their research are the people who have proved their loyalty to the institution and their willingness to endure its worst. It gives protection to those who would abuse those who would shake the system up. It gives personal security, and yet no explicit power or incentive for those with tenure to protest the mistreatment of those in their field. It makes it so that the only way to get the power to be controversial is to prove you can be uncontroversial, or palatably controversial.

Maybe instead of defending tenure we can have academic unions instead.

Professors trying to get tenure: "Okay everyone you have to get good grades and give me good reviews please"

Tenured professors: (Swiveling in their chair) "So I'm just gonna cancel class tomorrow, also your homework is to tell me how your weekend was, cheers lol"

“It came to me as just a complete and total surprise. … All of this went on without any knowledge on my part.”

--John G. Gager, a professor in the religion department at Princeton University, in response to the news that he'd been granted tenure when he did not know he was being considered for it, as quoted in the Daily Princetonian, April 9, 1975

Niobe did not for a moment regret her second tenure as a mortal, and she felt a lingering pang for that suddenly lost life – but she also felt an abiding joy for her return as an Incarnation.

The CISO Carousel and its Effect on Enterprise Cybersecurity

The average tenure of a Chief Information Security Officer said to sit between 18 to 24 months. This is barely enough time to get feet under the table, never mind a meaningful seat at the table. Two questions arise: why is there such volatile churn in this space; and how does it affect enterprise cybersecurity? Cause #1: the scapegoat effect The potential for CISOs to be used as scapegoats for…

“Just as the doors of academe have been opened more widely than heretofore to marginalized groups, the opportunity structure for academic careers has been turned on its head,” a 2016 report on faculty diversity from the TIAA Institute, a nonprofit research center focused in part on higher education, reads. From 1993 to 2013, the percentage of underrepresented minorities in non-tenure-track part-time faculty positions in higher education grew by 230 percent. By contrast, the percentage of underrepresented minorities in full-time tenure-track positions grew by just 30 percent.

Nearly 80 percent of faculty members were tenured or tenure-track in 1969. Now roughly three-quarters of faculty are nontenured. The jobs that are available—as an adjunct, or a visiting professor—rest on shaky foundations, as those who occupy them try to balance work and life, often without benefits. And Thea wobbled for years.
