That instructor's LinkedIn profile is atrocious and unprofessional

That instructor's LinkedIn profile is atrocious and unprofessional. How could anyone take him seriously? His only comments on teaching for ITT tech were "I taught people computer stuff." As a hiring manager who has taught in both traditional and for-profit institutions, I would toss that immediately. The reality is that our faculty are half of the problem. When UOP was booming, we took anyone with a Master's degree willing to facilitate a class. Many of them viewed it as a paycheck and ignored crucial elements of their contract necessary for true student success. They awarded every student in the class full credit for work that in many cases was sub-par or not even submitted. They posted half-assed comments on five days a week to avoid being picked up by our automated attendance system and now that we are able to trim the fat, we have. I guarantee this guy was let go from both UOP and WIU for facilitation issues. Who, in this economy, would turn down a paycheck? I guarantee he was escalated through the faculty remediation process and let go...and I suspect that professionalism played a role based on his profile. We are better off without that tool.
