I'm curious if anyone feels they get the same degree of workplace protection the concept of tenure for professors?
- Some contractors get protection if it's built into their contracts
- Unions create termination restrictions
- Military gets sanctuary for their last two years before twenty years service, then usually kicked out, unless they're generals
- you can't legally fire someone because color, religion, orientation, etc
What makes professors different or not different?
You can fire retail workers for anything not illegal
Based on your stance, if professors should be special, why?
If not, do you believe we won't get good ones all the sudden if they can't have tenure?
I'll try to find specific arguments made by opposing legislation, but but not necessarily asking for people just to verbally slay conservative/liberals. There's already a million posts for that.
