Re: [Phys-l] lab safety rules +- time on task +- symbolism

Yes, tenure helps protect you from getting fired if you rock the boat. But tenure does not mean the administrator you ticked off has to give you a merit pay raise. That's the point being discussed here. Rocking the boat is a pretty sure way of not getting pay raises if said raises are determined by an administrator who makes these decisions on the basis of your loyalty to him or her.

This I thought was the primary reason for tenure.

BTW, Garrett Hardin told me that tenure protected UC profs from removal because of immorality, but not gross and continuing. (!960's)
