Fire the chairmen and baseball - a trick question

Got a great comment asking for examples of who else get rid of the chairmen in 5 years. The reason my post was a trick is that ... this is how all the fine universities in the USA do it. Only full professors become chair and they serve for 4 or 5 years and get out.

Everyone knows if the chairmen' (at SIUC) performance was this bad in the real world they would be fired and the business would find someone who could do the job. My personal record for firing a manager was 17 work days, but I was younger and meaner then. :)

I'm big on research and best practices, term limits for chairmen is a best practice.
