UD has seen, over the life of this blog, very similar abuse of students. Often, as in this case, it’s political. You decide you’re not going to teach the math or physics class students signed up for. You’re going to corral them into voting for your candidate. You’re going to acquaint them, intimately, over the course of fourteen weeks, with your solutions to the world’s political, environmental, and spiritual problems.

By the way – one more note about professors. I share it with you, though I know not what to make of it.
In my Aesthetics class this morning, we were talking about poverty, and in particular the homeless. A number of students began discussing a woman who stands outside their dormitory begging.
“We all,” said one of them, and all of the others nodded in agreement, “think she looks like a sociology professor.”

Try your hand at this quiz: Prof or Hobo.
Then see how your students do.
