Many frustrated teachers and researchers have resigned or taken leaves to look for other jobs, school officials say.

@jeffjarvis Important to note that this is by design. They want to replace the tenured faculty with right wing Christo-fascist sympathetic professors. The easiest way is through attrition, avoiding the legal battles of firing tenured professors who don't happen to teach or research exactly what the state wants them to.

@Brad_Rosenheim @jeffjarvis I worked for an asshole once who flat out told me my job was to make people who didn’t do things his way uncomfortable until they quit of their own accord. Then he wouldn’t be on the hook for increased unemployment insurance.

@Permacultureandpolitics @Brad_Rosenheim @jeffjarvis South Africa has labour legislation that allows for compensation when this happens. It’s called constructive dismissal.

@clebayka @Brad_Rosenheim @jeffjarvis I could have used that. He did the same to me when I wouldn’t make our employees feel bad about themselves. He did no obvious actions that could be used in employment hearings or discrimination lawsuits. It would have taken a lot of effort to take him to court and win against his high powered attorneys. I just gave up, as most of his targeted employees did.
