At a tax exempt non-profit I translate that into "kleptocrat". http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2009/09/hoboken_attorney_general_anne.html Maybe there's a kind of psychology that contingent teachers need to watch out for: overpaid presidents (as in "I seen my chances and I took 'em") chop the head off anyone who dares address them about faculty pay. They prefer eyes cast downward, bowing and scraping.

Is it irony or hypocrisy that the least secure & most in need of protection cannot call academic freedom? Sequestering his computers, files, and research without due process or legitimate reasons makes Ebon Fisher's case stand out all the more. Since when is the academy a police state?
