academe = Olympics
January 15, 2008 – 3:48 pmEveryone’s favorite diminutive erudite, The Little Professor, has executed a perfect triple lutz in her post titled The Academic Olympics. I myself once earned a bronze medal in the Bureaucratic Triple Jump, in which “Each competitor must fight back against a student grievance, which s/he contests in three different administrative offices. There are bonus points for eloquence, documentation, and concision, but penalties for foul language, threats, and/or tears.”
Even the French judge Chronicle gave her a 6.0. As do I.
