At least at one University, their abuse of faculty does seem to be noticed....
Interview this weekend for an Instructor gig - full on interview process: teach two classes, meet with Committee, Dean, Directors of the Program and School - just like a tenure-line position.

Damn. Tell the truth and lose your job. Seems to be a lot of that going around.

In our situation it appears that the opposite is true too: tell destructive lies, engage in bullying, physically threatening behavior and get promoted. Instead of protecting us from the truly non-collegial folks, they were rewarded.

America's "worst college" sounds like a place to get a real education.
Arizona State is currently Washington Monthly’s 28th best college in America and Playboy’s No4 party school.
Places like that, Albert says, “are all about getting good grades and getting a degree and becoming well integrated into the American economy.” He pauses. “I can’t completely thumb my nose at people valuing college as a good investment. People are worried about the economy, and here we are studying ancient sources and medieval sources and we don’t use textbooks and we don’t have football.”
But, he says, if that’s the only way you look at universities, you’re missing something critical.

waited for the survivors to die
