I found at George Mason University that my best professors were lectures, adjunct, and those not on a tenure-track. I recall my first calculus professor loudly proclaiming his disdain for teaching. He  told us explicitly that he would much rather be doing research, he hated teaching, but because he was tenured, there&#x27;s absolutely nothing we could do about it. So we could deal with it or find another class.  He was the reason I didn&#x27;t pursue mathematics at George Mason University,  because I sadly realized that most of the department had the same feelings.
