A single-panel comic. On the left, a dark-skinned balding man in a purple shirt is seen from behind, saying "We need a way to protect free and creative academic discourse." On the right, a smiling light-skinned man in a suit and tie replies, "What if we took the oldest, wealthiest, most politically powerful people in the field and made them impossible to fire?" A caption beneath reads: "Tenure is weird." Votey: a loosely sketched cartoonist leans back grinning and says, "And now to piss off the rest of my audience."
