Hey Professor Marx, Highway 6 runs both way.

A&M BoR, I'm getting tired of reading crap like this. What have you done to my school?

While we're criticizing, I'll go ahead and criticize this professor's douchyness.

From his bio.

How fitting......

Oh no! A Humanities and Cultural Studies Prof isn't happy with us! Whatever shall we do!

Looks pretty much as one would expect.

Dr. Crick studies the role of rhetoric in the dynamic relationship between permanence and change. Drawing from knowledge of classical, pragmatic, and continental philosophy, he investigates the rhetorical character of the arts, the sciences, religion, and journalism within specific moments of history characterized by disruptions in the structures of power.

Courses Taught
COMM 438: Propaganda

Books

Crick, Nathan, Editor. The Rhetoric of Fascism. Tuscaloosa: Alabama University Press, 2022.

Fascism has resurfaced as one of the most pressing problems of our time. No longer just confined to the state regimes of the past, fascism thrives today as a globally self-augmenting, self-propagating rhetorical phenomena with a variety of faces and expressions. The Rhetoric of Fascism defines and interprets the common persuasive devices that characterize fascist discourse to understand the nature of its enduring appeal. By approaching fascism from a rhetorical perspective, this volume complements established political or sociological understandings of fascism as a movement or regime.

I'm trying to figure out the necklace. Looks like a little Heisman figure.

Probably something satanic

First sentence of his Bio:
A native of Massachusetts, Dr. Crick studied environmental science and journalism at UMass before working as a journalist in upper state New York and then a science museum educator in Portland, Oregon.

Translation: needs YouTube to change a tire.

Dude is gonna get fired.

Decades ago, A&M fired a Dr Dhiraj Pradhan, a chair Professor from the Computer Science dept because he raised his voice about something.

The OP tends to imply that he was being secretive about his views. Nope, he proudly goes on TV to call A&M a "corrupt institution".

No, he's not.

Dude looks like a skinny Fetterman

I'm surprised the lead singer for Disturbed has enough time for a side gig as a professor at Texas A&M

I hope he likes his position as Associate Professor, cause he is going to be stuck at that position for the rest of his time @tamu.

FYI: This guy is known in the profession as a RIPped faculty member. (Retired in Place). Move his office to a restroom, that should get his attention.

I think you are right. I guess not fired, but never promoted either.
He will have to leave the University and go elsewhere.

A lot of these problems would be resolved if we just shut down the Journalism and other useless degrees which prepare the "scholar" for a career as over-educated barista. I hear so much stupid chatter about "diploma mill" related to the College of Engineering. These bull**** degrees are the very definition of diploma mill and they create an environment for anti-American progressivism cancer to metastasize. They are an overwhelming net negative for A&M.

I blame the BOR for this trouble, not this piece of human garbage. He was garbage (and proud of it) before A&M hired him. We knew what we were buying and we bought it anyway. That's ultimately the responsibility of the BOR.

Just like GOP leadership in general, theyre hapless stewards who have extract personal benefit from their role thanks to the cultural inertia created of better men.

That inertia is decaying, but so long as they hit retirement before the jig is up - they don't care.

Dude is white. I call for him to forego all salary from white people, and live amongst the poor.
Any sleuths find his address? Bet it is gated.

What is it with thes Ass Profs with the chin hair? I always thought the chin hair was ball absorbers.
