5. I want him to, but it is getting hard to stick it out.

They keep hiring more and more administrators. Every problem is "solved" by hiring a new vice provost or vice president at a very high salary. His teaching load has gotten crazy and they are still pushing him, even with tenure, to write more papers, more grants and do more service. It is nuts to be sure.

He loves teaching, but those are the ones they are running out of the building. They are treated like crap while researchers who can't and won't teach are treated like kings. Crazy times we live in.
