My granddaughter, a college student, recently got me interested in a controversy at her large Midwestern school about an upcoming tenure evaluation. It is a hot subject and the blogs I have been reading suggest that the faculty is afraid to deny this person tenure even though he has a good many issues and difficulties that prevent him from being a good teacher and it also appears as if he is not mentally healthy.

Then we read about the shooting in Huntsville involving a tenure issue.

Should academic staff have this security, this tenure? I think that this is something that is going to cause a lot of discussion soon, along with how people are going to be educated in the future.

Whaddya think?
