It really depends on your network and the personality of other faculty members in the department. To be honest, it could become worse if someone else assumes the position. The chair has a lot of hats to play, and what he/she does is usually not rewarded proportional to his/her work.Not an easy job.If the election doesn't affect your sustenance. don't say anything.But if what your chair does really affects the survival of your department and your job, then of course you need to do something.Build your ally first, don't say anything incisive, and try to raise points that deflect the animosity but are essential for change. Talk around, not to. For example, you can say things like the chair has done a great job, but probably other faculty members might need some administrative experiences so that your department has a deep bench. But even for that, that's still kind of direct.The best strategy would be to wait someone to start the negative talk. You follow up by first commending the chair, and then raise the pros and cons of changing the chair (e.g., rotation, deep bench, and etc.). Never say anything negative about the chair. My two cents.What I've learned by staying in the higher ed is that never say anything negative.
下周系里开会，院长要参加，大家讨论系主任的连任的问题。系主任性格不好，喜好整人。如果不按照他的意思办事，就会倒大霉。系里不少老师就栽在这个上面。我与他的关系okay，但是我对他做得很多事情也不满意，不希望这人连任， 不然我们系真的完
了。请问大家，开会时怎样表达出自己的意思，还是不发言。也不知道系主任开会时候在不在场。想听听大家的想法。

如果已经天牛了，发表一下自己意见还是可以的，如果没有天牛就一句话都不要说。

除非真的对政治感兴趣，否则在系里政治问题上操心就是浪费生命。生命短暂，不如把精力放在自己真正感兴趣的事情上。
公立高校有点腐败落后，可能20年以后会被淘汰或者转型。我看有些高校的老师都是在混日子。
