<p>I have a friend who is at a famous LAC. His courses are very popular; he attracts over 100 students spread among two classes each semester. He sometimes sounds overwhelmed by the amount of work he has to do on his own. He is going to be up for tenure soon and is under tremendous pressure to publish. Another friend who taught at a LAC was a very popular teacher but failed to publish enough to get tenure. </p>
<p>It is not as if LACs are all about teaching and universities are all about research.</p>
