The Political Orientation of College Faculty

<p>You have COMPLETELY misread my comment and taken it out of context. NOWHERE in my commentary did I suggest or state that tenured professors would be removed, though I would ring CHURCH bells if we could somehow “blow up” the tenured system and make these people accountable to students and parents who pay the bills, let alone the University.</p>

<p>In ALL tenured contracts they can be removed for cause which is usually defined as being convicted of a felony, or some sort of sexual deviancy.</p>

<p>What I WAS referring to, and it was CLEAR from my statement in context, was the INABILITY TO GAIN TENURE if you are too outspoken politically, notably for conservatives.</p>

<p>Before you state that I posted a falsehood, please check your facts.</p>
