Serious question: If the whole point of tenure, historically, was to protect professors who express controversial views, why do so few tenured professors today express controversial views? What are some specific reasons? (I'm working on an article about this.)

Real options theory (from finance) possibly helps explains this. Tenure is also job lock-in. If p of moving at unknown future date is p>0, then the real option value of ‘remaining safe’ is also >0.

Professors today don't get tenured, most are adjunct or associate professors.

Associate means tenured.
