Sarah Fama @alreadyfamas.bsky.social · 20/03/2025I find it unlikely that faculty tenure software exists which in ten years could save the amount of man-hours that will be spent in a) the Academic Senate receiving & debating this proposal, b) the task force itself, and c) various & sundry department meetings arguing about it. 2/2 000
