a: Academe ~
b: no other industry
What:
"Academe is like no other industry. Careers are for life because you really can't get a job anywhere else after you've been tenured, with exceptions for superstars and those willing to drop down several tiers. This is the stuff of nightmares for faculty, and I'm sure there will be some hard questions asked of presidents and boards around the country over the coming weeks."
