Tenure. Look Into It.

Again, this year, idiot boy, and tsds graduate, Christopher Herrod (R)atbastard, Provo has introduced a bill to eliminate, Tenure for college professors at Universities in Utah (The REAL ones, not the one HE went to).  He has two degrees from a, "university" that  doesn't offer, Tenure to it's professors, and he thinks it's working out just great for them.

Yeah, because they aren't a REAL University!

They are a PRIVATE, religious school, who can hire or fire anyone they want to.  And they can especially FIRE them if they don't toe the party line when it comes to what they teach.

Tenure was introduced more than 70 years ago (according to the SL Tribune) to give college professors, one's in REAL colleges, protection for their jobs if the stuff they were teaching, might be a new idea that would go against the Mormon, er, excuse me,  COMMON knowledge.  As in a new idea, something that would expand the things college students think about.  You know, making people think.  Which is EXACTLY what colleges SHOULD be doing.

Teaching young people HOW to think, instead of WHAT to think!

And, Tenure was there to keep people like the idiot, Herrod, and other Legislators, and Governors from firing them if they didn't agree with what they were thinking.

I'm not surprised that he felt like he had to exempt Utah State, and THE University IN Utah from his rule.  He knew this wouldn't pass if he kept them in.  But I feel sorry for the folks down at SUU.  They have a great national reputation as a small college where you can get a BIG education.  If this bill passes?  They might as well close up shop and call it done.

Who, in their right mind, would choose to teach in a state that PROHIBITS TENURE if they were a good teacher, and someone in a state in it's right mind, would want them?

So, Mr. Herrod, since you don't understand how higher education works, because you don't have one?  Please LEAVE IT ALONE!  It's out of your realm of understanding.

And one other thing while we're at it?  If banning guns on campus is working out so well down at tsds, The PRIVATE school,  and that's their policy, why are you in favor of FORCING THE, University of Utah to ALLOW guns on their campus.  Shouldn't you be in favor of forcing TENURE on the private school?

Oh, never mind.  If you are reading this, and I'm pretty sure you aren't, because I'm pretty sure you can't read, your mind would have just exploded.

Hypocrisy.  They name is, Christopher Herrod.
