On another note, I guess higher education has really changed. I noticed the professor is a professor of "outdoor studies." He only has a bachelor's degree, and is current a graduate student in "northern studies." I'm not saying these areas of inquiry cannot be rigorous, challenging, and even intellectually stimulating. But this is quite a far cry from higher education was meant to be.
