Well, maybe more since the mid 80's or so... when it became ok for
public school teachers to act like university teachers in the classroom

How many university teachers are you acquainted with? They're all
different in my experience. I have a good friend and former sailing
buddy who is is a full professor at NYU and just about as conservative
as you'd want to get.

My daughter's father in law (a retired history professor) is that way
too but he always complains that he couldn't say much around the
campus, lest he be shunned.
He is also the biggest critic of the university scam I have heard.
He says universities are mostly focused on protecting professor jobs,
not preparing students for a job.
He still took the money tho. Now he is sailing the Indian river behind
Melbourne beach most days or up in his lake house near Oprah's house
in New Buffalo Michigan.

Educators certainly don't seem to be destitute as they would have you
believe.

I never thought a college's purpose was to prepare students for a job.
