I can’t find him on the St. Olaf College website. I wonder if this is a prank, designed to draw us off-target.
St. Olaf is a legitimate school. I can’t imagine the guy would keep his job after the piece I read in The Patriot Room.
If he is (was) affiliated with St. Olaf, then it must have been as an adjunct, which, in the world of academics, is a nobody (although some of the most valuable faculty members on earth are adjuncts).
From the Huffington article he said he ran for Mayor in Portland OR
