Hi Anand,
Thanks for the link! You beat me to it, and made my job easier.
These posts by Dan Drezner and by Sean Carroll (both high profile bloggers from UofChicago) seem to imply that blogging had little, if any, to do with being denied tenure.
Since this seems to be too much of a coincidence, people are jumping to (obvious) conclusions. But I am not convinced about either an absolute 'yes' or an absolute 'no'. I am sure blogging had some role in the decision; the interesting question, IMO, is 'in what way?'. For an answer, I guess we will just have to wait.
Thanks Abi. Definitely, it's not an absolute "Yes". The intriguing part is that it's not an absolute "No" either! As Sean Carroll writes in the link you provided, "blogging may very well be a contributor to this image of not being perfectly devoted". You're right, we'll have to wait and see!
