     What Necessitates These Issues ? 
     
    
   
   
    
     This article is a con- 
     
     tinuation of the attack on 
     
     the tenure system. The 
     
     university was & supposedly 
     
     is, and I use the term with 
     
     some hesitency, established 
     
     for the benefit of the 
     
     students. Thats you and me 
     
     and anyone else who takes 
     
     courses. we should have 
     
     an equal say in who does 
     
     the teaching at this ins- 
     
     titution. The tenure 
     
     committee is set up so we 
     
     have the least possible 
     
     voice but also that we do. 
     
     have a voice. 
     
    

    
     The incompetants who are 
     
     teaching at this university 
     
     are an outrage not only to 
     
    

    
     ~the students, but the 
     
     university as a whole. The 
     
     people who have tenure 
     
     were, in all likelihood, 
     
     very competent people when 
     
     they received tenure. The 
     
     problem is that there is 
     
    

    
     no more risk for theSe 
     
     individuals. You can use 
     
     the same notes you have 
     
     been using for 20 years, 
     
     you can listen to the com— 
     
     plaints of the student and 
     
     laugh. You can laugh because 
     
     you have a life appointment 
     
     As a tenured member you can 
     
    
   
   
    
     tell this World tovfuck-off 
     
     and'there is nothing anyone 
     
     .can do.

     The possibility of losing 
     
     your tenure is there but 
     
     how many times has that 
     
     been used? There would be 
     
     such a roar from faculty 
     
     about such a happening 
     
     that it would probably be 
     
     one of the few times mem— 
     
     bers of the faculty comm— 
     
     unicated with one another. 
     
    

    
     The tenure system protects 
     
     nothing but incometence. 
     
     Because of the level of 
     
     incompetence that is prev— 
     
     alent at this university 
     
     it can only be passed down 
     
     to the people who take the 
     
     courses. 
     
    

    
     _The continuation of the 
     
     tenure system can only 
     
     propagate the high level 
     
     of incompetence which is 
     
     already rampant at this 
     
     university. The tenure 
     
     system must change so that 
     
     we, the students, have a 
     
     say. 
     
    

    
     As was stated before,I 
     
     believe that the system 
     
     should be comprised of 
     
     4 faculty and 4 students. 
     
     The time for incompetentS' 
     
     judging incompetents must 
     
     come to an end. The student 
     
     comes here to Learn. The 
     
     only thing that can be 
     
     learned from an incompet‘ 
     
     ent is further incompetence. 
     
     Demand that the tenure 
     
     system be changed!
