@emporiastate 7. Charles Koch criticized the institution of tenure since the 1970s. In a piece Koch wrote in 1971, he holds out the General Motors Institute as the ideal for higher education. One key feature of GMI, Koch said, was that there was no tenure https://t.co/mecxuZF6Go https://t.co/btoG8OPbn0 — PolitiTweet.org

9. Tenure is not just under attack in Kansas. @RonDeSantisFL recently signed legislation weakening tenure at Florida universities. @DanPatrick has called for the elimination of tenure for all new hires in Texas. Scott Walker, a Koch ally, did it years ago in Wisconsin. — PolitiTweet.org
