Tenure

The productivity now at universities is terrible. Tenure is a terrible idea. It keeps them around forever and they don't have to work hard.

~ Jack Welch

The comment in the photo above is taped to my computer screen in my office on campus. I haven't been to my office on campus for about five months. Do not interpret that to mean that I haven't been working hard. 

I have.

Way, way, way harder than Jack Welch. He's dead.

(pause)

Now, that would be maybe funnier if he had died like thirty years ago instead of in March. The point is, I work hard.
