 The university hires people
                it deems the best and six years later it fires
                them because they are. ~*~*~*~*~*~ The members of the tenure
                committee evaluated Carries bid for tenure
                and decided to grant it because they were
                confident she would not exceed their mediocrity. ~*~*~*~*~*~ The decision was split as
                to whether to grant a member of the department
                tenure. Half of the voting professors were
                against the candidate because they didnt
                like her, and the other half of the voting
                professors really didnt like her. ~*~*~*~*~*~ |
