  • Summary

    Chapter 14 dismantles a third myth regarding tenure’s effects on individual faculty incentives, namely, that tenure dampens academic productivity. The chapter shows there is little empirical proof supporting this assumption but some proof against it, and argues that claims about declining productivity reflect a simplistic and unwarranted belief that faculty are rational maximizers whose sole motivation is employment security.

  • Summary

    Chapter 11 introduces and explains the concept of “auto-depreciation”: a phenomenon that forces academics to acquire skills not valued in the general labor market and to lose skills that are valued. It argues that auto-depreciation reduces the exit options available at all stages of an academic career and that it is linked to the rise of Quit Lit and academic coaching services.
