The attack on Higher Ed continues. Tenure is being attacked in numerous states. In today's world, tenure is the only protection against a governor or board of trustees firing a professor for teaching anything they disagree with, or posting something they disagree with.
Do you want your kids taught by an adjunct with very little experience but who shares the right wing views of the governor? They are also abused, poorly paid and have no benefits. Cheap labor is not good for the adjunct or the student.
Higher Ed is funded by taking a large portion of federal grants for "overhead". I assure you, as these grants dry up, universities will not lay off highly paid VP's, but look for ways to fire tenured faculty with years of teaching experience.
Ohio has already moved to do away with tenure. Oklahoma is doing so by executive order of the governor. I need to check but I am sure there are others.
As I have said before, it will take 40 years for education to recover from the past year.
Buckle up it is going to be a bumpy ride.
