    Just so you know, they won’t keep professors employed if they can replace them with AI. Administrators would love to make a dollar if they thought they could get away with canning those high salary employees. and the administrators don’t care what happens to the university’s reputation on average.

      When i was at college, they asked professors to self manage their time to have a certain percent spent teaching and a certain percent spent researching and publishing. Both activities are required, and crappy professors tend to focus on research that gets grants and notoriety for the college. I don’t know about any other incentives of administrators.
