As for him not finishing college?  Why is that such a big deal to you?  Plenty of people go on to have great lives and careers, without the benefit of a college degree.

"Until now, tenure for professors at the University of Wisconsin has been protected by statute (Wisconsin is the only state with such a law). Now, that protection has been eliminated, leaving it up to the school’s board of regents to decide whether professors have tenure."

So the tenure isn't really an issue, but they're still going to lose pay increases and be expected to work more?

Employees tend to stick with a job that won't give them a raise and expects them to work more.

As for him completing college, it probably has to do with the fact that it is not a hard thing to do. He had a 2.6 GPA when he dropped out, which isn't impressive. I might be more forgiving if he were someone successful like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, or Ted Turner. These men went on to start successful businesses and be the best in their fields. He has been a career politician for the last 23 years. Has he ever had a real job? Has he ever had success in the private sector?

He comes off as someone who doesn't understand how business and education work, which might be because he hasn't really been in private business and he didn't take his college education seriously.
