Ha ha, so, so many.... the headline is (for me) that many (but by no means all of course) academics are selfishly interested only in organising their lives to suit themselves, which is not necessarily that unusual, but are unbelievably 'talented' at presenting what is only good for them as if it was actually for the general good - in other words they intellectualise self-centredness as social responsibility.... and to me it always looked like hypocrisy!

In response to this post@ChrisMayLA6 Sad to hear. =( Do you think that the prestige a higher academic title brings, and tenure, are the reasons for this?
Or is it just that that jobs tends to attract that type of person?

I always used to say that part of the function of Universities was to provide (relatively) productive employment for middle-class professionals who would be unemployable in any other sector -as you can imagine that didn't make me popular among my colleagues (but that's what 15 years of private sector work before entering the academy made pretty clear)
