tenure

a Godless action taken by colleges and universities across America to keep their teachers and professors from leaving their institutions to work elsewhere by guaranteeing their "right to work" for life at the college and/or university of their chosen employment. the reason this is "Godless" is it allows the teachers and professors to teach their own perverted agendas which therefore brainwashes our youth to believe personal lies over generally accepted unalienable truths, that made America great in the first place.

bill: i hate my political science professor. if i don't believe what he believes, he'll flunk me, and i do not agree with him at all politically. the man's a communist and believes in collective thought.

chip: you are stuck with him, my friend, as he has tenure. he can't be fired, so you either need to drop out of his class entirely and find another instructor or be his slave and go with the flow against your own conscience or let him flunk you. isn't America GREAT?

tenure gap

The difference in the overall personalities and classroom behavior between teachers (specifically high school teachers) who have received tenure, and those who have not. For example, a teacher without tenure may be overly cautious in class in order to avoid offending anybody in the slightest, whereas a tenured teacher simply couldn't give a shit.

Person 1: "Hey, dude, how do you think our chemistry teacher got away with whipping his dick out in class?"
Person 2: "You know, the tenure gap."

Tenure rage

When a higher status, entitled, "tenured" professor gets angry at, shouts at, or "rages" against those lower in status then him (usually its done by males). Often directed at untenured faculty, secretaries & admin, or PhD students over minor issues or perceived slights to their high status.

That guy Professor Zuck really tenure raged yesterday at the faculty meeting when someone suggested we have fewer meetings.

tenure track paper

A scientific publication of mediocre quality published in a respectable scientific journal exclusively thanks to connections of the senior author. The connections are frequently a result of doing a PhD in a respectable lab at a respectable university under a supervision of a professor with a respectable reputation. The 'tenure track paper' doesn't really explain anything of scientific merit and usually has only one objective - to fill out one spot in a necessary publications quota of the senior author to secure the permanent Associate Professor position within the university, aka the tenure.

A: "What do you think of the paper of Long which just came out recently?"
B: "I'm wondering why he is getting paid to do this "research". Classic 'tenure track paper'...

Tenure Troll

A university professor who has reached tenure, but loves giving anyone and everyone a hard time no matter what.

Man 1: Have you responded to Fran’s service ticket?
Man 2: Hell no! She’s probably being a tenure troll again.
