FWIW, speaking as someone who has had tenure, the problems don't end there. The whole thing is broken all the way through.

There are good places and good people, but the system is dysfunctional and too many critically problematic behaviors and dynamics are incentivized.

Society at large isn't helpful either, as outside influences tend to be politicized badly on both ends of the spectrum in multiple ways, even when the other side is trying to improve things in good faith.
