Thank you.

Here’s more whine from the threatened “teachers.” It’s all about academic freedom and free speech — don’t you know. ~~~Snort~~~
...........................Tenure protections set in law tell the rest of the country that Wisconsin is committed to upholding academic freedom and sees tenure as a crucial asset in attracting the best professionals around the world and keeping them here in Wisconsin, Andrew Austin, an associate professor and chair of Democracy and Justice Studies at UW-Green Bay, said. Why shouldn’t we be a model for the nation? The state is already losing some of its finest faculty, which means an exodus of research moneys from the state. It will lose a great deal more if tenure protections are removed or weakened. If economic and social developments are valuable things to Wisconsinites, then retention of strong tenure language is essential.
