Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 3804540, member: 153"] But you're talking about a very old university model. It's not the way it was before. 75%+ of the faculty were tenure-track 20 years ago. Now it's under 20% and most faculty are contingent. 3 year contracts. And even tenured faculty are getting fired. In the future, professors will be the type of people who were warned not to go into the profession but did it anyway because they were stubborn and head strong and could handle the anxiety of not earning until they were 30+ while racking up debt, or for the most of them, earning contingent non-tenure contracts. Good for them. [/QUOTE]
