People, stop inundating me with emails saying that I haven’t offered a convincing argument in defense of tenure. I’ve written many posts on the subject over the years, OK? If you’ve missed them and / or can’t use the search function of the blog, that’s not my fault.
Here are links to some of my posts on tenure:

While searching for posts on tenure, I have also alighted on this great post on people who condemn literary criticism. It’s an old post but it’s still good.
