"University professors are a privileged elite that work between six to nine hours a week, eight months a year for an annual salary of about $150,000, according to David Horowitz...more"

LOL, then cry! I had a boss that did zero lab work, yet managed to scam NIH out of $200K per year. The postdocs literally did all the work, and we had weekly lab meetings so he could find out what happened! If he wasn't napping (literally!) on his office couch, he was day trading on the internet.

He was a master BS artist though, and could give you the poor mouth speech while callously taking a yearly $8K minimum automatic raise.

Tenure must be destroyed!

Abolish tenure? Change the terms. Profs are pressured to publish. Most university profs are not the best educators nor are they truly dedicated to teaching. They lecture from prepared papers, and among many they often or always impose their political biases.

By whom and how, and by what criteria are these "honoured" citadels of high learning, I mean higher learning, rated?
