Not saying that that still doesn't happen. It's unfortunate, an embarrassment, and thankfully generally relegated to smaller universities off the international radar if at all. Interesting that those 3 individuals would even admit to buying their positions these days. I can tell you that if information like that came to light where I work, heads would roll.
My comments centered on comparative opportunities, for example when a foreign tenure track professor is working alongside tenure track Korean colleagues with like qualifications. This is generally the case at large K universities and some small to medium size schools with international exchange programs.
And let's not forget that universities are not perfect institutions. Much as in any other type of organization, you're going to find instances of petty infighting, power struggles, racisim, sexism, and personality conflicts that
negatively impact individual circumstances. All anyone can do is aspire to make things better. |
Professors may not pay for jobs outright but there are at least some who "contribute" to their universities to retain their positions. |
