New tenure rules are being put in place without faculty knowledge. We have a close friend who had a 25 year career ruined by a student who made outrageous claims that were totally untrue.

That former faculty member is now working for a big box store. We have always thought they were forced out because they supported LGBTQ students. We also feel they are using any excuse to force tenured faculty out so they can replace them with inexpensive adjunct faculty who they have more control over.
