You’re missing my point. Universities that also do research cannot be sustained completely by adjuncts and teaching professors.

Also, a portion of adjunct and contract-based positions are filled by those seeking a tenure track position. Removing tenure will affect this side as well.

No, I'm not missing your point - I agree with it. My comment was meant to point that that to the extent that tenure could be gutted from research universities, it has already been done so.

Gutting it further would bring immediate ruin.
