"Occupation: Associate professor, education, Indiana University Northwest"

Here's the problem. There are 2 occupations that should be barred from holding public office. College professor's and lawyers

There my friends is all you need to know. The IU School of Education is a academic joke!

Back about 1970, the University had to greatly restrict the types of degrees you could get through the School of Ed. People were flocking there (mostly from the School of Arts and Sci) because the standards at the school of Ed were so much lower. No language, and little math requirements.

EXAMPLE, When I was in HS (1975) our school was big enough to have classes in Telecommunications (radio/TV production) Our teacher(in name only) was there because he took his production classes through the school of Ed rather than Arts&Sci. It was easier that way.

IU finally corrected the problem not by raiseing the standards at the School of ED, but rather dis-allowing students from carring non-Education majors through ED.
