Does this show that more senior academics are freer or are more likely to toe the line?

[-] OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 30 points 11 months ago

Tenure is probably responsible here. Makes it much harder, though not impossible, to get rid of professors who don't fall in line with the ADL's demands.

I would have assumed ADL was the counter to tenure, as any criticism of Israel policy shall receive a free upgrade to racism.

Yo i just wanna appreciate you and your use of 'toe the line' the right way. You almost never see it yaknow? I'm all excited about it

I'd bet it's both. Older folks tend to align more with Israel, and so won't feel any threat to saying so. Tenured professors also have substantial protections, so even if they do disagree (which among professors is probably most of them) they have more opportunity to express so.
