A Sporting Alternative to Tenure.

Dworkin, James B.; Johnson, Robert W.

Academe: Bulletin of the AAUP, v65 n1 p41-45 Feb 1979

To stimulate thought, it is proposed that rules governing free agency, professor reservation, first refusal, trading, and salary arbitration be applied to higher education to replace current, outdated procedures.
