The Professors Are In Charge
...OK -- Washington seems to run now along the logic of the faculty lounge. But let me explain the rules of Lala land. Some of you were not academics for 21 years. No problem, you can easily imagine what the worldview is on campus -- given that after six years on the job you cannot be fired except for felony conviction (and even that is problematic). After tenure a failure to publish and awful teaching evaluations mean nothing. "Post-tenure review" has the teeth of a UN investigation.The in-class work week is about 6-8 hours. You toil at school 32 weeks a year. A hyphenated or exotic name often brings career rewards. Liberalism is defined by accentuating gender and racial differences, not ignoring them. Peer review and faculty governance adjudicate talent, and academic senate votes resemble the margins of Saddam's old plebiscites. Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2010-06-14 |
