In the public sector, given the already massive protections that unionized teachers/profs already get, tenure is ridiculous and should be abolished

My university has for several decades only offered tenure for a limited period, and in a scaled manner that grants increasing stability as one progresses the academic ladder. Effectively just rolling contracts defining how much notice they have to provide. 2 years assistant, 5 years associate, 10 years full prof.
