Hey Dan, I completely agree with you on the point about tenure being a divisive concept, one that protects the elite few, meanwhile increasingly vast amounts of university teaching and research labor are conducted by the many who are unprotected. I have no illusions about the university as is. And as we've talked about, I'm not looking to preserve the status quo. The question for me is what should we be fighting for, how should we be organizing. And I think part of it is to have an acute and macro sense of how the university works. Of course, I'm not always sure I want to do that work. After all, the university is my job, not my life. But what's the distinction? These are the things I've been thinking through, among many other in the midst of this moment. That distinction though and the blurriness therein is where I slightly disagree with your take on Salaita. I think for academics speaking publicly about the subjects for which they also write and research, its unclear where one is being marked for political speech as a citizen and academic speech. In my read the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) is somewhat unclear on this too as they suggest that faculty speaking as citizens is also a matter of academic freedom protections. That blurriness is also made clear as the reason he was unhired was not because of whether he had the right to say and do as a citizen but because Zionist donors claimed that they feared he would create an uncivil and unsafe environment in his classrooms and with Jewish colleagues on campus. So, it was about his ability to perform his academic duties. I am intrigued by your question at the end... but then again, so much appears to elude the so-called left...
