Theyll have trouble attracting quality talent to GA unis, which is the goal. As will SC if this passes

Tenure is the single most important and vital protector of academic freedom that exists. Tenure-track positions need to be more common and remain protected.

I hate all immunity. Even in game shows. It fucks with the balance of everything.

I know its hard to grasp for people who are unfamiliar with higher ed, but education and academia are not, in fact, game shows
