first let me make clear that when i talk about tenure, i'm applying this to tenure of college professors NOT about tenure involving high school teachers or any teachers in schools.  i won't go in that direction because i don't know much at all about how tenure in a grade school or a high school works. saying that, i believe that giving tenure to a college professor is just plain wrong. by tenure i mean that once a professor has a certain amount of experience, they are essentially safe...it's almost impossible to fire them.

I think that tenure for college professors is problematic because it can inhibit the professor's freedom of speech and research, as well as discourage needed reform in institutions. Additionally, tenure can prevent administrators from firing a professor if the need arises, as it can be extremely difficult and lengthy process, which would hinder universities from providing the best learning environment for their students.
