While YES, at one time all (or at least<br />99%) of profs were white males, was it the case that success<br />was measured by (say) being dept chair or dean or something?<br />The profs we remember now (Godel, Einstein) were known for <br />their work, not for anything in admin. So I ask non-rhetorically- was it ever the case that profs success was<br />measured by admin promotions? Or maybe just for those that<br />were not Einsteins? Or what?<br /><br />There was an episode of Law and Order Criminal Intent titled<br />Anti-thesis which reolved around a power struggle to be chair of a history dept. Looked so odd to me since most people do not want to be chair.GASARCHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06134382469361359081noreply@blogger.com
