This reminded me of my favorite professor who was also &quot;a full-time lecturer&quot;.<p>Just sent him an email and cc&#x27;ed my prof.  His address it linked from the root domain:<p>&quot;Alex,
I just read your letter &quot;BLOWING THE WHISTLE ON THE UC BERKELEY MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT&quot; &lt;<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;alexandercoward.com&#x2F;BlowingTheWhistleOnUCBerkeleyMathematics.html&gt;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;alexandercoward.com&#x2F;BlowingTheWhistleOnUCBerkeleyMath...</a> linked to from Hacker News &lt;<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10372181&gt;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10372181&gt;</a>.<p>While I&#x27;ve never attended UC Berkeley, nor have we met, I was moved by your letter.  It reminded me of one of my favorite professors in college, who was also &quot;a full-time lecturer,&quot; as opposed to a professor that split time between research and teaching.  The quality of teaching from a professor dedicated entirely on the pursuit of education is unsurpassed.  This professor was well known&#x2F;beloved and also had classes that would fill up quickly.  Not sure if there was statistically significant evidence in this case, but wouldn&#x27;t be surprised at a strong positive correlation between prior students and subsequent class performance.<p>Anyways, without hearing from the other side of the lecture, what happened to you sounds like some shit.  Best of luck in your next pursuit.  Good people like you shouldn&#x27;t have to put up with nonsense bureaucracy like that.&quot;
