How I Got Tenure

I detest laughter, but even I had to chuckle when I read about how other professors are copying my technique for getting tenure:

Professor's Hunger Strike Ultimatum

“I will either see the provost resign and my hard-earned tenure granted at MIT, or I will die defiantly right outside his office,” James L. Sherley, who teaches biological engineering, wrote in a letter to colleagues that he provided to Inside Higher Ed.
