This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

If you were a college professor, would you prefer a job at a college traditionally supportive of your point of view, or would you rather be a token voice of dissent at one that championed another viewpoint? I noticed Reich is at Berkeley now. I think he’d make a great contribution at Univ of Chicago.
(Disclaimer: The University of Chicago does not seek my advice in staffing.)

It’s difficult to generalize about universities–as far as the professors are concerned, the particular school they are part of tends to be more important than the overall rep. of the institution.
But to answer your question directly, if I had tenure, I wouldn’t give a darn about what anyone else at the institution thought.
