And given the academic job situation, there are no easy choices for faculty. On the other hand, I'll bet there's a whole cadre of them who still, adorably, imagine that their tenure still means anything.

Isn't that just the cutest thing? Since when does tenure mean anything??

That would be a sad end to what was a really great thing. Have you noticed that everything today's Conservatives touch turns to shit?

I have noticed. It's much like how the big banks and the big box stores come in, saturate the region, smother the smaller stores, then close their "underperforming" stores, leaving empty shells and food deserts in their wake. Which is kind of the Conservative way.
