Who wouldn't want to sign up for that professor's class?
The primary point of this post, though, is that in these days of belt-tightening, university classes pertaining to "oral sex" or "queer theory" might be considered superfluous.
OK, I can't resist. These classes give new meaning to education "stimulus", don't they?
Ha ha ha! Sometimes I slay myself.
Maybe they will get rid of all core classes in math, science and literature and replace them with this curriculum. Knowing how professors can digress to the point of oblivion on their chosen topics, this could be the magic bullet that would lead students away from promiscuity. Heck, it might even make them celibate.

ReplyDeleteDepends if it's taught by a hot girl or a dirty old man.
(jest kidding....)
I have to ask ... how do you interview for a position like this?
ReplyDeleteHow much are parents paying for their kids to learn garbage? Better yet, how much are taxpayers paying for their citizens to learn garbage?
ReplyDelete*might* be considered superfluous? and what does the economy have to do with it?
ReplyDeleteSure "might". When times are flush it's tougher to deny valueless academics an opportunity to indulge themselves.
ReplyDeleteNow that times are tougher those same indulgences loom larger and smellier although my perception is that some of the more egregious examples of this sort of indulgence, specifically the various "studies" departments, have been on the wane for some time.
Perhaps, proving that it's an ill wind that blows no good, this economic downturn will help accelerate the demise of the "studies" departments.
