Last week, I questioned Obama’s professorial credentials.
A faithful reader — who is uber-loyal to Obama — provided a link to aUniversity of Chicago media release:
From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School.
He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year.
Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track.
The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School’s Senior Lecturers has high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching.
OK, I concede that he taught enough to be “regarded as a professor”.
But, I still don’t like it when folks dis professors as a group.
Dis us individually, please.
