So, I am very happy for him (the man is brilliant), and I think we need to stop pretending like this is a big deal when it really shouldn't be.

Each within the last seven years. Two of three received tenure second time around. I know of three other cases where there was a second tenure review. Each within the last seven years.

I understand that Massad is a massive asshole (hell, I was around the man on a daily basis for a while) but he is undeniably a first-class scholar. The only reason he didn't get tenure the first time around was to save face for his department. What is shocking is that the university had a second tenure review (unheard of at this university) and I get the feeling this was to save face with the academic community who knew Massad had been wronged.
