Do you think tenure selects for professors who are more likely to not take risks?
@ThaddeusRussell has mentioned this
Mostly tenure selects for capability and productivity. But it can also select against risk taking, IMHO.

I agree that it does select for risk aversion, but I have trouble understanding why it does. Is it that the process of getting tenure filters out the the risk-takers, and selects for the risk-averse? Why don't we see more tenured professors using their 'immunity'?
