See Also is a library weblog written by Steve Lawson, who is the Humanities Liaison Librarian for the Tutt Library at Colorado College. He writes about academic libraries and librarianship, libraries and technology, and similar topics.
His post, "Abolish tenure in the name of academic freedom, " has an unusual solution to the issue of tenure and academic freedom - he suggests a reverse tenure: "New hires have seven years of tenure, starting their first day on the job. Aside from gross negligence, they are untouchable. They can follow their ideas wherever they lead. After seven years, tenure is revoked."
