Purpletitan, in addition to my other response, I will add that research isn’t all that matters for faculty trying to get tenure. They have to pass muster in service and teaching. The bar for teaching can be set low. At one place there is a oft repeated joke that any junior professor winning a teaching award won’t be around the next year. That is a double whammy. The often repeated message is that not only shouldn’t junior faculty be spending their time bothering to prepare for teaching but at a review the award and wonderful teaching evaluation won’t make up for even one fewer publication. I’ve watched those with teaching awards get booted.
