The ivory tower types don’t live in the real world. They don’t have to.

Senior Lecturers without a Ph.D. are not unheard of if the lecturer is in a field, like journalism, where career experience can reasonably substitute for the advanced training required for a Ph.D. The guy has a masters degree and had a 30-year career in journalism. The business school at the local state university hires retired business execs all the time as lecturers (some with the title senior or executive lecturer) to teach courses related to their business experience. My point was that he is almost surely not highly paid and most likely does not have tenure.

Well is the dumbarse "Smith" or is he "Soto"?
Leave that hyphenated crap to confused women why dontcha.
What I can't help wondering is if the Left will rush to destroy this squat-to-pee prof as they did Kim Davis in Kentucky?

The minute that the governor signed that legislation, I put up my sign outside the door," David Smith-Soto, a senior lecturer of multimedia journalism at UTEP, told the Chronicle of Higher Education. "Guns belong wherever they belong, but they don't belong in my classroom or anybody's classroom, for that matter." Hmmm. Must have been a typo: "Gays belong wherever they belong, but they don't belong in my classroom or anybody's classroom, for that matter."

he's probably adjunct..."lecturer" is what Obama was @ Chi - he likes to say "full professor", but he was a lecturer, likely signed a contract semester by semester.
You're right tho....if he's on staff but has no doctorate, it's uncommon at a university.
