The Truth About Tenure & Promotions: They're FIXED and I show how! #academia

“Twenty years ago, when I started my academic career, I believed that hard work, collaboration, and collegiality would guide my path. I never imagined that one day I would apply for promotion to full professor and allege that my colleagues had rigged the process against me.” An excerpt from my new Book, RIG'EM: A Case Study of Leadership Failure in the Tenure and Promotion Process. In this video, I shares how I went from a motivated young assistant professor—eager to contribute and build partnerships—to someone navigating a hostile academic culture that often seemed determined to push me out. My story reflects a reality many faculty face but rarely speak about openly. If you’ve experienced unfair evaluations, isolation, or retaliation in academia, this conversation is for you. You are not alone, and your experience matters. 📘 Learn more in my book RIG ‘EM: A Case Study of Leadership Failure in the Tenure and Promotion Process 🎥 Subscribe for more insights on academic culture, promotion challenges, and faculty rights 💬 Share your story in the comments Let’s bring these hidden issues into the light and push for a fairer, more transparent academy. #academia #tenurepromotion #rigembook #facultyrights #workplacebullying #unfairpractices
