Off topic, but your Comp sci story is my freshman Chemistry for Engineers story. In that profā€™s case, he got what he wanted - a ban from having to lecture freshmen.

Especially if they have a lot of grants. That >50% overhead to the university isnā€™t to be sneezed at. Who cares if they canā€™t teach? (Actually I only had a few of those, especially one who said ā€œGo to the library and work on a paper. See you in a month.ā€ Well, he had zero talent as a teacher, so it was no great loss.

Thats quite lovely!!

And OT but not reallyā€¦ we just hired a Professorā€¦ a FULL professor, not adjunct, not assistant, not associate, not tenure track, but a fully tenured professorā€¦ and I am so confused. So it happens, still, I guess? But man oh man is it ever rare!

Wow. They must have REALLY wanted them.

Either that or they had serious dirt on the university.

That is begging for a discount shop hack version. Do they still sell fuzzy slippers at Wal-Mart?

Yeah grab some ugly slippers at Walmart and a little duct tape and voila! You save yourself $350.
