Senator Arnold agrees. Things have gotten out of hand. Tenure allows faculty to put personal agendas ahead of institutional priorities. What they are teaching is second to their personal agendas. The most important part of abolishing tenure is to get back to why faculty are there in the first place, to get back to the basics.
Tenure prevents that from happening.
Part of the problem, says Arnold, is that tenured faculty rule the roost. The administration has no control. Professors, teachers, and teachers' unions have taken control of management. They are laying down the guidelines rather than vice versa. There is little to be said in favor of shared governance.
