It's time to abolish "Tenure" privileges. All that tenured professors have done is radicalize kids because they know they can't be fired. They've filled society with anti-american rhetoric, safe spaces, and transgenderism nonsense.

I think with this scheme you would get your A. It would just be delayed on being on the school transcript. That would be a major pain for administration

NC, ND, Florida, Texas, Nebraska and Louisiana have tried. I think NC and Nebraska still have bills, but they aren’t being acted on. I think the other ones died, but not sure of their status

The commie professor needs to be fired and find it impossible to get another job.

Will instructors in UNC Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine hold those final grades back from the university and risk facing sanctions? Palm said Monday the group will support the call issued by UNC’s students who believe their free speech and peace was infringed upon, saying the faculty are “prepared to do everything that it takes.” “Forty-thousand dead in Gaza, a million displaced, famine conditions, and students have been arrested and suspended,” Palm listed off. “The matter of grades is an inconvenience compared to the violence that UNC administrators have invited onto our campus.”

He looks like he could describe what a cock looks like having only felt it with his mouth.

It’s a group. I saw reports of up to 36 but no confirmed names. They apparently were asked by the Students for Justice in Palestine for help. Chapelbori. News and Observer

Yesterday 700 faculty signed an open letter. letter LINK

I think the grade protest was successful for the UNC Silent Sam issue, so they are trying it again

I'm sure the profs are angry about the suspensions.

But do you know why they are really mad? They mad because a handful of frat guys turned a few minutes of "FU Commies" into a half million in less than 3 days time.

This is a straight "I'm holding my breath until I get my way" move.

University faculty can be some of the most immature people on the planet.

I have a feeling the NC General Assembly will end up removing tenure for all professors eventually. Other states will follow as well.

Tenure is no longer needed in 2024. It was originally created to protect faculty from admin based on research.

Hey, my research says that XYZ instead of ABC. University president believes ABC so fires faculty member.

Every red state needs to remove tenure protections from K-12 schools first, then university faculty. In Mississippi, a K-12 teacher has tenure after TWO years. They can be lazy as shite after that and its almost impossible to fire them.
