What could Brayton ever know about tenure? He is not eligable, never considered, and never will be.
Gack gack ptuie. Heddle did have a sensible comment. I was rejected for tenure at one college the same year I cleared the same amount of grant $$ as my salary, received the board of trustee's "Commendation for Excellence" and was named "Teacher of the Year." I was told that a single tenured faculty member stopped the application by claiming I "was not very collegal." Translated that means I objected to his habit of giving good grades for blow-jobs.
Sure there is a personality aspect. Anybody here work in any large companies?
