Here's the official word:
Statement Regarding Barack Obama
The Law School has received many media requests about Barack Obama, especially about his status as "Senior Lecturer."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. Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined.
Lol! What a ‘professor.’ He was barely literate. Here’s one of his exam questions:
“Law week, two men, Richard and Michael, walked into you office and asked for your help.
You learn that they are a monogamous, gay couple who have been living
together for the past ten years. Both men are successful architects, and after devoting the past decade on their respective careers, they have now decided that they want to marry and raise children together.”

‘In a blog post by at DougRoss@Journal on March 1, 2010, “To be (a lawyer) or not to be... “, comments are offered from one who corroborates that Obama’s “teaching career” at The University of Chicago, was to put it kindly, a sham. This evaluation came about after talks the individual had with the highest tenured faculty members at Chicago Law about Obama, who was Barry at the time. Among them were:
* Obama applied for a position as an adjunct and wasn’t even considered.
* A few weeks later the law school got a phone call from the Board of Trustees telling them to find him an office, put him on the payroll, and give him a class to teach.
* The Board told Obama that he didn’t have to be a member of the faculty, but they needed to give him a temporary position.
* Obama was described by other professors as being lazy, unqualified, never attending any of the faculty meeting. It was clear that the position was nothing more than a political stepping stool.
* Some doubted whether Obama was legitimately an editor on the Harvard Law Review, because, if so, he would be the first and only editor of an Ivy League law review to never be published while in school.
The same blogger then asked reader to consider:
1. Having surrendered his license back in 2008, Obama is no longer a lawyer (allegations that the surrendering occurred to escape charges that Obama “fibbed” on his bar application.).
2. According to a Chicago Sun-Time article: “Obama did not ‘hold the title’ of a University of Chicago law school professor.”
3. According to Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an Assistant Dean for Communications and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago School of Law, “He did not hold the title of professor of law.”
4. As a former Constitutional senior lecturer, how could Obama cite the U.S. Constitution during a State of the Union Address with a quote that was from the Declaration of Independence?’
There’s a lot more at the site...all of it devastating.
Trust me. Professors do not regard adjuncts of any kind to be professors. The adjuncts may call themselves professors but the real professors do not regard them as such in any way. They are adjuncts.
