Provide reasons, arguments.<br />You say that tenure "serves no useful function," but of course it does serve a function, which explains its existence. Do I need to spell it out for you? Are you unaware of the rationale for academic tenure and academic freedom?<br />You say that tenure serves no function "in a progressively liberal learning environment." Are you suggesting that, in, say, a "progressively conservative" learning environment, things would be otherwise?<br />I know it's hard, but do try to be clear. You're not making much sense, and your remarks are offered sans argument or justification.

According to the info I have, between $60-80K was spent on the installations, including purchase of some pieces, etc. Don't know where all the money came from, though some of it came from the general fund. This instructor at one point went to the Foundation to ask for $60K or so for the BOSI stuff, but was turned down.Roy Bauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10107385463457119300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-86170509086811496432013-02-08T21:42:06.788-08:002013-02-08T21:42:06.788-08:00I'd like to go to Hawaii.
