So he killed 3 people and served 13 years in prison and became a college professor. Hmmm for selling one pound of marijuana you get madatory minimum sentence of 15 years with no chance of parole and lose all chance of getting any goverment grants or scholrships to college much less a chance of ever being a professor. Yep I feel much safer now

Mahon said the university doesn't require prospective faculty members to report their criminal backgrounds.

And thus, reality strikes (however briefly) another college campus. Even as I type there may be college liberals (students, professors, and even administrators) who have finally come to the realization that, yes, Virginia, people judge other people.

Yeah, but marijuana is a gateway drug.

And it doesn't appear that the university requires a background check of its prospective faculty members, either. Guess what? People aren't always what they seem and the university is stupid to not see this.

My university had egg on its face because they gave a guy a job who faked his credentials. The guy got a professor job in the engineering department. Just one problem: the guy didn't have a doctorate in mechanical engineering, he only had a bachelors in engineering technology (not the same thing at all). The guy was there for about a month before the university found out and it wound up being an ugly embarrassing affair. Lessons learned: they now wait for the background check to come back before they hire professors.

No news here! Our colleges are filled with nut cases and terror supporting proffessors.

In this country higher learning institutions care about "Money" especially the foriegn Arab money. Why you can even learn to fly a plane and at the same time skip the "how to land classes".

rrrrrrrrrrrreally great isn't it.

While were at it lets include the United Nation as a terrorist organization. I'll bet if you would have the FBI and CIA investigate every single office and tap some phones you'd soon board shut the doors and windows.

Maybe they could at least get a grade school education while serving their 15 yrs.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Colleague of yours?

[not_apathetic_anymore]

I guess there must not have been any gaps to explain away in his resume, nor any questions about why did it take so many years to achieve a certain degree.

Huge loophole!

Read between the lines on the crime. A night of drinking with some older guys who probably ridiculed the 17 year old about the "soldier of fortune" thing. Booze, children and guns don't mix. Krueger was definitely a child then, his romantic notion of sailing to Venezula to be a mercenary is an indication of his level of maturity. In today's world if it was found out the three fishermen supplied the booze, Krueger would have walked.

If "life in prison" really meant "life" in prison then we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

You're a bad man.

[DoughtyOne]

Wait just a minute here, I thought diversity was king. Why this is just another diverse individual. This guy should fit in fine. And my guess is he'll vote Democrat when the time comes. What's the problem Profs?

LOL, how I love it when the left gets confronted with their own life themes.

[ikka]

His speciatly is HR, it figures. He certainly "downsized" the fishermen.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Elect him to the office of Governor Of California. A little thing like group murder should never hold a man back!

Agreed, which is one of the principle arguments for the death penalty.

Not that I think it's likely this professor is going to commit another crime, and I guess in theory the "rehabilitation system" did perfectly what it was supposed to, but there's something a bit chilling about this whole story...
