   Out of 7 applications in LKY, only one passed

   Also 2-3 from LKY, 9 from business?

   are these tenure denials or resignations?
   

   The Indians gang has a firm foothole. If you look at PhD students, usually more than 50% are Indians. There is an Indian prof who can't publish and the Indian AP they tenured can't publish alone (need to ride on coauthor).

   The 'branch campus' of lkyspp is edu uni hk. The deans of edu uni hk is affiliated to lky and has been recruiting ex lky students and staff to join edu uni hk.

   So edu uni hk has a large number of ex lky people.

   that can't be true. if there are six people who failed and one who passed, then by intermediate value theorem the standard has to lie in between.

   not if the one who passed is in the middle

    NUS seniors on the tenure committees are idiots. They basically create a checklist and nitpick for tenure evaluation. If they want to give tenure, they can overlook weaknesses but if they don’t, they will come up with all kinds of nonsense to disqualify a person. Also don’t forget, department and faculty level recommendations are overturned all the time at the university and provost level run mostly by engineers who don’t know sh*t about social sciences. At a tenure info session, the dean discussed a person who just got tenure (and there were only 3 tenure success cases out of more than 30 that went up that year at FASS). Mentioned this person being a “border line” case and the main reason was because they server on an editorial board of some Chinese journal (which meant waste of time that they could use for something more productive and poor signaling). To another person who failed (and met the criteria that was stated), the school told the reason was because there was a 3 year gap between their first and second publications. The whole thing is a joke. There is no standard there.
