Dr. Bernard Carroll, known as the "conscience of psychiatry," contributed to various blogs, including Margaret Soltan's University Diaries, for which he sometimes wrote limericks under the name Adam.

George Washington University English professor Margaret Soltan writes a blog called University Diaries, in which she decries the Twilight Zone-ish state our holy land’s institutes of higher ed find themselves in these days.

University Diaries. Hosted by Margaret Soltan, professor of English at George Washington University. Boy is she pissed — mostly about athletics and funding, the usual scandals — but also about distance learning and diploma mills. She likes poems too. And she sings.

For someone who is supposed to be a Harvard law school graduate and admitted to the bar in Mass. he misread the statute. Treble damages are imposed only by the judge after a trial if the judge finds, first, that the defendant committed an unfair business practice and, second, failed to make a reasonable offer. The restaurant offered to refund his $4. Hard to see what was unreasonable about that offer. If he had filed suit it is likely that the judge would find hi suit frivolous.

De minimis non curat lex… How come a Harvard law school grad doesn’t get that, and why is he teaching at Harvard?

Harvard really needs a charm school for some of these prima donna types. Everyone with an h-index of some level should attend classes in how not to be a jerk.
