akashiverHorrible though the Alabama academic shooting case is, I couldn't help but laugh at the Chronicle of Higher Education's coverage of it, which included a link to "Advice on Being Denied Tenure." I imagine the first piece of advice is "Don't do *this!*"
The case is weird and sad. It seems the Chair she shot had actually supported her tenure case. And now we've learned that the shooter had fatally shot her brother 24 years ago" & that the police apparently had pressure put on them from above to drop the case. *That's* going to be an interesting investigation.
