Professor Tom Vawter sent an email to all members of the Wells community calling Republicans “stupid.” He closed his email with this quote: “’Lobotomies for Republicans: It's not just a good idea; it’s the Law!’ --Yellow Dog.”

Comment: Good research little girl. Your points are valid, however small schools recruit faculty for their potential teaching ability. Even so, from what you say about Vawter's record, if true, it means that he could be what we used to derisively call a stillborn PhD. His activity in the socio-political realm may imply several things. First, the guy may not be much of a success so far in science, therefore to build his ego, he seeks the affirmation of students. Second, this may be a temp job for him before a post doc., in which case he's sorta treading water for the moment. Third, he may be in the wrong field and would have majored in minority or feminist studies, but couldn't because he's a white male. Fourth, he has other career aspirations than academia, but what the hell, it's a girls school if you get my drift, Vern.
Failures of Reproduction / Derisive Term: Stillborn PhD

And certainly, as a woman who has been deeply involved in the woman's movement and double majored in English and women's studies while an undergraduate (my stillborn PhD thesis was also about the role of women, Chassidus and semiotics), I am fully aware of the abilities of women to subtly influence their men - the power behind the throne.
HAHAHAHAHAHA.
this stuff cracks me up.
wait til your 'liberry skool' degree ends you up overqualified and they fire you.
oh man, I haven't even graduated yet.
and at this rate NEVER WILL!
Holding pattern academic.
to major in 'minority' or women's studies but couldn't because I am a white male. That explains my choice of medieval studies for my stillborn PhD. They only had white males back then.
