Reposted by Zack TannerZack Furness @punkademic.bsky.social · 22/04/2026If there’s one thing I’ve learned from 26 years in higher ed, it’s that having faculty governance and tenure is basically having a fake union. They are exploitable systems based on squishy policies that favor the admin, rather than legally-binding rules that represent the many & favor the workers. 13614
