A Hamline University law professor was convicted this morning of failing to file state tax returns for the years 2004 through 2007.
… [Robin] Magee, of St. Paul, had claimed to investigators that she didn’t have her papers organized and that she didn’t understand tax law, according to the criminal complaint.
But Magee, 47, practiced tax law and criminal law before joining the faculty at Hamline…
She hasn’t taught for two years, but remains a tenured professor there… Drawing a paycheck and all…
Which is an even better gig than the never paying taxes thing, since you can eventually be run aground for failing to pay taxes, but at Hamline they seem to want to hold on to her.
Maybe they can’t find anyone else to teach her very specialized niche.

Maybe she learned her tax law from the Secretary of Treasury.

She is a donor to Minn. Congressman Keith Ellison, who has a long history himself of being a tax scofflaw. Perhaps she is preparing herself for a run at political office?

I don’t recall seeing such a split between positive and negative reviews on a single professor.
