My willingness to speak out about all this is shaped by the fact that I have tenure. But to the extent that tenure represents some amount of safety and security, what good is it if it only inspires cowardice? If it only inspires you to hold on to it so desperately that you can never be bothered to try to make this world (or your own campus) less hostile for someone else? If it only inspires you to avoid speaking out against unfairness and injustice?
