At my school students routinely call even adjunct instructors professor. To say that he was a glorified TA makes people look like fools. What students say when sucking up to the person giving them a grade is not important. It certainly isn't what you put on a resume.
When reading a resume, it's usually done in the 'strict sense' in the business world, though maybe not in your world.

The story also says that "professors" usually teach the core courses, but that's not my experience. The core courses (lower level, mandatory courses) are usually taught by T.A.'s, lecturers, and assistant professors. The full professors and associate professors concentrate on research and upper-level courses.
In many places this is true, but not so much at the University of Chicago. It is distinctive in this matter:
The University of Chicago* is one of the premier academic institutions in the world. Dont be surprised to see your professors quoted in the newspaper, cited in your textbooks (if they havent authored them outright), or on the shelf at Borders or Barnes & Noble. At the same time, professors are required to teach undergraduates and often take outstanding students under their wing. In their fourth year, most students are required to write a BA Paper in the area of their concentration under the guidance of a faculty member. Classes at Chicago are rigorous. Class time is limited, but there are extensive problem sets or reading assignments outside of class. Some classes have midterms as early as the third week, which leaves little time for procrastination. There are tutors available from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. in Harper Library in all Core subjects, as well as writing tutors who will review and edit papers.
* Faculty with terminal degree: 100%. Student-Faculty ratio: 6:1.

Usually a formal job application. Which is very different from a campaign mailing, which is a form of advertising.

I think what we've lost sight of - the most important thing about Obama and his qualifications - is that he was once a community organizer. And as we are now learning, experience as a community organizer is the most important qualification a POTUS can have. Why, we're now learning how important it is just to sit down and share a (non-alcoholic) beer with others in front of hundreds of cameras, and pretend to sort out all our differences in the short span of thirty minutes.
I look forward to the years ahead, when I can learn how worthless my time was spent, in a fruitless effort to work hard and make something of myself, instead of doing the noble thing and stirring up hatred against whitey.

What do you mean by strict sense reading of a resume in the business world? Simply that if his job title wasn't 'Professor' as listed in the employment records of the University, they he wasn't a professor no matter what the students might call him. In such a case, putting 'Professor' on his resume is fraudulent.
The resume must match the employment records.
