This Is The Problem

We entrust college professors to educate and inspire our children and, therefore, to ensure our future. Yet this is how NJ Governor Chris Christie referred to college professors recently. "College professors are fine, I guess. You know, college professors basically spout out ideas that nobody ever does anything about." What a miserable, pathetic viewpoint! What a painful cliche! What a slap in the face to amazing professors who've changed people's lives! And this from the chief executive of New Jersey's troubled higher education system.
