Adam Smith held an appointment as an Adjunct Lecturer, Finance (non-tenure eligible) in the Eller College of Management at the University of Arizona from January 2, 2012, to May 20, 2012. He presently holds no appointment with the University.
The University of Arizona strives to provide an environment where a free and respectful exchange of ideas is valued and encouraged. We strive to have a workforce that is diverse and respectful of different viewpoints and where opinions are respected.

So, has anybody interviewed Mr. Smith to see if he has stopped digging?
Soooooooo, is he gone from U of A? Or are they going to let him teach again?
Oh My!
You mean even the liberal academia is sick of the drama queen BS?
They’re not saying, exactly.
I think U of A likes it BOTH ways. :-)
As far as I know, there are no laws saying you can’t be an ***hole in America. However, this boy screwed up when he brought the nice young lady into his freak show. Well, the good news is, he won’t have to ask for the day off tomorrow to go play tonsil hockey with his boyfriend at the Chick-fil-A.
Yes, they seem a bit mum. Almost voting ‘present’ like Obama.
“tonsil hockey”
hee hee hee
When I was young, they were not called gay. The were called queer.
You tell me which is the most descriptive.
I never get tired of good news.
That sounds like a lie. Somebody needs to find out how many conservatives live in AZ and then match that percentage to the number of conservative professors. If those percents don't match it's discrimination.
He’a toast.
He bought the lies of the main stream media that everyone is in favor of ‘gay marriage’ and all that. But we are NOT.
He was a total jerk but so sure of himself that he posted that video expecting to be congratulated but we know what happened.

“free and respectful exchange of ideas is valued and encouraged.” “a workforce that is diverse and respectful of different viewpoints and where opinions are respected.” etc.
blah blah blah blah blah ..... Only a university or WH press secretary can come up with that kind of high-grade horse-droppings.
“We fired him because he was a jack***.”
If they had just said that I would have given them a big `Attaboy!’.
Seems like his association with UA ceased a little over a month ago.
OTOH - he was entitled to his free speech rights just like CFLa ... but he was being an AH while he did it. Maybe he shouldn’t have been fired from his jobs but counseled on how he exercised his rights under the First Amendment. But still, I think he was a jerk.
Anywhere I happen to be, they’re still called “queer.”
“He presently holds no appointment with the University.”
I don’t think he’s gonna be welcomed back with open arms if they felt the need to tell people he’s already gone.
In fact, now that I think of it, I’m “queerphobic.”
In a previous thread it was noted that his CV, bio and contact info were removed from the UA website during the day, I believe after he got canned from his CFO job.
He needs to update his facebook page. This loser is slacking..

That seems pretty clear to me, held is past tense.
If anything turns up different UA will have some tough questions to answer.
So long Adam Smith, you better be filling out a lot of resumes.
That's queer, he said he wasn't happy.
He looks a tad like Keith Olbermann, maybe Current TV hasn’t filled the position yet. Same attitude though.
ABC news (or some MSM group) will likely pick him up as an investigative reporter now..........
They’re still called queers.
I sure wouldn't argue against your point, it seems likely.
As a company officer (Chief Financial Officer) he damn sure better have been fired after pulling a stunt like that and publicizing it.
It reflects on the company and puts the value of the company at risk. It also shows poor judgement on his part.
Do you want someone showing poor judgement as CFO in a company that you have invested your retirement in?
If he had been working on the loading dock, it wouldn't have mattered so much.

It’s like you said earlier, they’re still scrubbing him off their website...
Click his pic and name, it’s just like you said. The poofter has gone poof!
They don’t want anything to do with him.
WE MUST VOTE OBAMA OUT COME NOV.6.
This was really a waste of my time but I couldn’t resist looking up what Eller College listed as their core values and considering how Adam M Smith performed to those values:
http://finance.eller.arizona.edu/undergraduate/values.asp
Core Values
After concentrated discussions with recruiters of finance majors and finance alumni, finance major core values have been identified. These core values are the attributes that key focus groups acknowledge as critical to the success of finance professionals.
Those core values are communication, diligence, responsibility, critical thinking, and technical proficiency.
Communication
• Use of technological tools – Adam M. Smith was fairly proficient filming himself and capturing his own demise on video.
• Written communication skills – Oddly enough, he documented his credentials sufficiently to ensure quick follow up feedback from many sources.
• Oral communication skills – The guerilla warfare approach was a bit rough. He tended to dominate the discussion – almost like he didn’t want to hear the other party’s response. His vocal clarity was adequate but he seemed to struggle a bit on his issues. Then he almost forgot to assert his self-imagined sexual orientation.
• Effective business presentation skills – He started the interaction by declaring victory by claiming the extracted and “costly free water” and then moved to demand a change in corporate policy from non-management employee. I don’t think he had the right audience for his delivery.
• Professionalism – He seemed to be lacking a bit here…
Diligence
• Work with enthusiasm – Adam was pretty excited about his mission.
• Follow instructions – He explained what he was about to do and then followed through. Nicely done.
• Complete assigned tasks – He got his free water & severely damaged Chick-fil-A’s business by extracting a costly Styrofoam cup & filtered tap water with ice. He also slowed down the drive through lane by about a minute thus reducing CFA’s revenue stream during their biggest record-breaking sales day.
• Continuously improve – I’m wondering what Adam M. Smith has in mind for CFA for tomorrow.
• Exceed expectations – I’m guessing that the swift actions by both Vante, Inc. & Eller College within hours of his posting far exceeded his own expectations.
Responsibility
• Understand professional responsibilities – By being kicked to the curb by both Vante & Eller College I suspect that he’s going to learn a lot about personal responsibilities.
• Understand and adhere to ethical responsibilities – Probably could use some remedial training in this area.
Critical Thinking
• Decision making – Adam M. Smith made a crisp decision that got quick results. He may be reconsidering that particular decision.
• Analytical skills – Adam M. Smith may have missed this step in the process. After filming his little tirade you’d think he’d recognize that this was not a good video take.
• Identify, formulate and solve problems – Adam M. Smith identified a problem about which he was passionate and then formulated an effective approach to solving it. It just didn’t work out real well for him.
• Systems approach to information flow
• Group problem-solving skills – Adam M. Smith is sure to find himself at home with that DemonRat political group that is currently in the throes of trying to solve the problem of how to get n0bama re-elected. They’re currently taking a stab at inserting “gay marriage” into their party’s platform. Go for it!
Technical Proficiency
• Ability to use techniques, skills and modern financial tools in practice – Since this exchange was for a free water there was no evidence of any use of modern financial tools.
• Knowledge of contemporary issues – Adam does seem to know a particular hot button of a contemporary issue.
• Manage financial information – That water was certainly free and he clearly informed all the viewers the value of the cup of water.
• Knowledge of financial theory and application – I’d say that this little application gave Adam M. Smith an overwhelming lesson of financial values.
I agree. What I was referring to was his free speech rights. Sure he put his company in a bad light. He was a jerk to lay into that girl who incidentally conducted herself with grace. He showed poor judgement. He took his venting out on the wrong person. I was just wondering wasn’t he allowed to express his free speech rights? But then, words do have consequences and he found out the hard way that his did. I’m glad he got fired. He had no right to vent to that girl. What if anything could she have done? Nothing. He should have gone to corporate and done that rant at their headquarters and not at some bottom employee.

This guy is as queer as a three dollar bill.
You are brilliant. That is quite possibly the best single thing I have ever read here on FR.
Yep, he’s a gone gobbler but poofter is more polite. LOL!

He was free to speak. The government will not punish him (congress shall make no law..constitutional thing).
Being an ass, though, can get you fired.
/johnny
You’ve got to lurk a bit harder. There’s a tremendous amount of great stuff on FR. I just couldn’t resist when I saw Eller’s values so clearly laid out like that...
Thanks anyhow.
lolololololol
Right - you put the company you work for in a bad light you deserve to get fired. The moron should have thought first of what he was going to do before he opened his mouth. Words do have consequences and when it reflects badly on the company you work for, well then .... as I said before. If he had a beef (no pun) with Chick-Fil-A he should have taken it to corporate rather than berating an employee. He was a total jerk and got what he deserved.
/johnny
I hear they are looking for workers in the oil fields of North Dakota....that would be quite a weather change...:))
That's great and no darn way was it a waste of time.
Complete assigned tasks – He got his free water & severely damaged Chick-fil-A’s business by extracting a costly Styrofoam cup & filtered tap water with ice
My favorite, loved it.
“He was a total jerk but so sure of himself that he posted that video expecting to be congratulated but we know what happened”
Exactly right. Just the opposite of what he thought was going to happen happened. Could not happen to a nicer liberal.
Exactly. If I were to vent my opinion on a certain subject in public I would be sure I wouldn’t embarrass the company I work for. In this case this is what that jerk did. He vented on an employee who could do nothing about what he was yakking about. His video has now gone viral and the only thing he can do now is go to his room and hide under a blanket for the next several years.
I love how this guy claims he is hetero. Let’s be clear: (1) hateful (2) cycling charity (3) faggy glasses (4) CV mentions 4 sons no wife. This guy is obviously gay. Good riddance.
