Tenured professors get fired all of the time - it's a myth they are un-fire-able.

Only if they are found to hold conservative beliefs, or in some egregious way shone a bad light upon the Faithful of the Left.

Change my mind.

Can't someone make a claim as an anonymous student that she is making them feel unsafe, committing microaggressions and silencing voices, etc.?

Lol.

I am sure that after a 'official review' of the situation, the university would determine that whatever student claimed this was wrong, and instead was being racist, insensitive and bigoted by not having a more open mind to 'new ideas'. Then they would cite some crap about how the school has x-number of POC in various positions throughout the faculty, as if this somehow absolves them from these complaints.

It would be more funny if it wasn't so probable.

You never know until you try. Just out victim them, claim to be a trans, disabled, two-spirit, left-handed POC who voted Trump because red is the only color you're able to see given your communist leanings and you are able to distinguish the hats easily, and thus if they are removed you'd be color blind which is not how we should be acting as a progressive society.

Anonymously, of course. Yes! Turn their own tactics against them!

When they bang undergrads - fired on the spot, usually leftists get caught doing that.

You're right, it's not hard to get rid of someone, if the administration or someone in the department doesn't like a teacher with tenure, they'll just remove the position because of the "budget" or "restructuring". Then as soon as they can, they'll open it back up again.

Haha. She's a dumbass. There's literally a self-inflicted recession or depression going on.

Can you give us a few examples of tenured professors who have recently (<10yrs) been fired and for what they have been fired for?

Edit: Just saw your post ref undergrads. That is the only reason I've heard of them being fired. Obnoxious ass holes, unresponsive to student needs, incompetent in instruction, political hacks (not in a political study area) ... I am hard-pressed to think of one given the boot.
