A bigger problem is that when they do retire or die, they are replaced with non-tenured adjuncts on short-term contracts.

I don't really think it's Reddits "fault" tbh, so much as people being idiots about what their "first amendment rights" actually are, but meh

The problem is Reddit fostered and hell even encouraged that thinking as a part of their brand

The guy who ran r/jailbait and a bunch of other gross sites was viewed as an important member of the community by administration

yeah the only problem i could see anybody complaining about w/r/t compulsory retirement for professors was the problem of not having replaced every single professor in america with an adjunct yet

he isn't entirely wrong. universities, at least up here, spend a good chunk of their entire operating budget on paying tenrured profs.

of course the solution is gonna be to phase out tenure and pay all the desperate PhD graduates 3 grand a course soooo
