Inside Academia
Institutions
-Brilliant guy! Publications, TV regular, star at conferences,
the whole smear! Teaching awards up the wazoo!
-Yet he couldn't be promoted at the University?
-He could have died after staying in place for thirty years.
Assistant Professor and that was that!
-I'd leave!
-As he did. Gracing a junior college, would you believe?
-And got promoted?
-Not at first. Nosed out by Professor of Auto Body Repair.
-You are pulling my leg out the door and down the street!
-Uh uh. And the field isn't as hammery-smashery-dirty as
you'd imagine. At least his side of it: Aesthetics and Philosophy.
-Well, that part sounds like bullshit!
-He should transfer to University in that case.
