Here's a simple solution - get rid of tenure. Tenure was originally a protection for professors to speak freely without the fear of getting fired. The result however is an ossification of faculty that doesn't care because they've attained a level of job security not found in the rest of the economy.

Seconded. I had one to many classes with pricks who think the purpose of a class is to complexify basic concepts and espouse their greatness rather than convey useful information.
