...where she sleeps in their car with one dog and he sleeps in a tent a few feet away with the other.

What a loser. Any self-respecting homeless university professor would get a cheap RV, or at least a van, to live in. Volvo. Ye gads, won't this age of hipsters ever end?

Academia is a hide-out for leftists / parasites. Its even better than government. No one expects results and you can justify any asinine or dangerous idea with the pretext of “freedom.” Moreover, its all paid for with government money and massive debt pushed on to the backs of students.

Its a great 21st century American scam.

Making matters worse, to pay for her master’s degree, James-Penny borrowed more than $140,000 and her monthly student loan payments top $400.

For an English degree? This is a loser. Wow!

She has a history as a loser.

From an old bio:
Ellen’s current success, however, did not come easily. A casualty of the dotcom bust of the early 2000s, she lost her job at an emerging tech company and was unable to find similar work. Struggling financially, she took a job cleaning and painting apartments in exchange for her rent. Thirty-nine and almost homeless, Ellen felt defeated, but a good friend encouraged her to pursue her dreams of higher education. Ellen took the advice and enrolled at SJSU in 2006 to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in English. By the spring of 2013, she had completed both her B.A. and her M.F.A. in English, and in fall 2013, she was teaching her first class at SJSU.

Any self-respecting homeless university professor would get a JOB not in her field. Delivering pizza. Walmart. Come on, lady, you are a grown-up and you have to support yourself. Did you learn NOTHING in college? (Though why would I think she would?)

I know lots of people that live on boats. Know one gal who lives in a travel trailer. Don’t know anyone that lives in their car or sleeps in a tent. Just shaking my head.
