"Why Immanuel Kant wouldn't receive tenure in <__(my)__> Dept..." - He's already mid-career and he doesn't have any publications. - His best teaching evaluations are from a silly summer course about Fireworks. - His writing style is difficult to understand. - ... and nobody on the Committee could figure out what he was trying to say. - Is what he's doing really Philosophy? - None of his outside letters are from big names at major universities. - He has not focused his research on a single area ... he seems to be writing about everything. - (Off the record -- I know I'm not supposed to say this, but ... doesn't he seem a little, um, Strange? Y'know, he isn't even Married... oops, forget I ever said that, its probably illegal...)
