Having taught college English in my younger days, I have some sense of the arrogance, isolation and entitlement of those tenured pseudo doyens, particularly college administrators. They’re making the big bucks and have many letters following their often-hyphenated names, so by virtue of their positions—highly paid for very little actual work—they prima facie must be superior beings. They so often act the part, an act hyper-charged by “working” atop the Poison Ivy League.
Imagine the unlimited self-regard of the university presidents of Harvard, MIT and UPenn, Claudine Gay, Sally Kornbluth and Liz Magill, respectively. Actually, one need not imagine it. When they recently appeared before Congress, they demonstrated it by refusing to answer direct questions, smirking, and in general, behaving as the self-imagined academic elite. And about what were they so self-absorbedly tone deaf?"
