Two....statement....offer conflicting point of View : A{ those that say that lifetime tenure ensures academic freedom } AND B {Those that say that lifetime tenure encourages professional laziness and irresponsibility}.
here A & B must be parallel and conflicting.
A. those that say that lifetime tenure ensures academic freedom and those that say that lifetime tenure encourages professional laziness and irresponsibility - Seems Ok.
B. some declare that lifetime tenure ensures academic freedom, and others say that it encourages professional laziness and irresponsibility - no antecedent for It.
C. saying that lifetime tenure either ensures academic freedom or encourages irresponsible laziness - Either OR is used to show parallel structure. we need both parallel and conflicting.
D. one emphasizes the academic freedom that tenure ensures, and one stresses the professional laziness and irresponsibility it encourages - no antecedent for It.
E. advocacies of academic freedom and warnings about professional laziness and irresponsibility - not parallel.
hence my Choice is A.

IMO D.
Since the statement is talking about two statements. The dependent clause needs to provide the conflict in views the statements present.
souvik101990, what is OA and OE?
