[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know it’s fun to bash the students.  But this is a large class that’s fundamental to many degrees.  Lots of tuition dollars involved. Why did the college hire an octogenarian on contract? This should be taught by a tenured professor. The students have a right to complain on that point alone.  The guy may no doubt had an illustrious career elsewhere, but at NYU he’s an admin cash grab.  Of course, he’s also the kind of guy who knows someone who knows someone at the NYT, but all the more reason to realize the students have a point.[/quote]

+1 I was just reading through the comments in the NYT and had to laugh at the number of comments about lazy, inattentive, snowflake students who got a "tenured professor" fired. Maybe the lazy and inattentive readers commenting should have paid more attention to the article, including the fact that Dr. Jones was teaching on a yearly contract.[/quote]

That's your takeaway? You do realize he was tenured at Princeton.

Students today are entitled and lazy. This country need to vastly increase legal immigration because I don't see this generation as being capable of carrying the torch forward.[/quote]
