   Lybs have control. Unions still have a lot of power in blue states. Not likely to disappear altogether

   There is a great theoretical justification for tenure, but in reality, tenure is likely a net negative.

   Who do you think should “abolish” it? Should the government tell private universities they are not allowed to sign certain types of employment contracts? Should public universities give up competing for research faculty and teach all their classes with adjuncts?

    Yes. Abolishment of tenure and switching to fixed term contracts is the way forward.

    Just abolish universities in that case. You won't have anyone decent teaching in any case.

    ^also if you abolish the Universities, might as well abolish K-12, as that will mostly be redundant.

    Libs want to get rid of tenure so they can cancel conservative professors more easily.

    I feel your pain and frustration as either an academic job market failure or a phd dropout who were forced out to industry and keep sneaking into this forum because you can't get away from your insecurity..

    no need to abolish it. its value has eroded so much over the last 2 decades that it is no longer a prized perk
