Time to revisit @aaup.org's 1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure: Tenure benefits universities because it frees teaching and research of political interference and makes "the profession attractive to men and women of ability." It's a recruiting tool not a privilege.

Political bias and fascist power grab dressed up as common sense. We all know that right wing violence is by far the bigger threat, much of it committed by our government.

When I was a senior in college at Lynchburg, the director of the senior thesis class made us write about the Civil War. So my project searched for the origin's of the stories about the "Battle of Lynchburg," and found they were basically all post-war fabrications.

Senior professors - if you want to help your junior colleagues in these times, I am begging you, review our papers. I have done 25 manuscript reviews in the last 6 years. But my own manuscript is stalled out waiting for reviewers. Relatedly, I won't be doing any more reviews until tenure. 🧪

Pete Hegseth is responsible for killing 175 schoolkids in Iran because he gutted the group responsible for making sure the military doesn't hit civilian targets. Hegseth may be correct that the US doesn't knowingly target civilians, but in this case, gross negligence is not an excuse for a massacre.
