Underpaid 83-Year-Old Professor Died Trying to Make Ends Meet by Working Night Shift at Eat an' Save

77. How very sad

I received my B.S. degree from Duquesne in 1975. It was a Catholic College and that is why my parents wanted me to go there - I had 16 years of Catholic education. I am as liberal as a person can be and I feel that much of it comes from my educational background. I never learned anything about the Old Testament only the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament, take care of your neighbor, do unto others, etc. I learned to question authority and about ethical behavior.
I don't know what has happened in the intervening years. I told the last caller wanting money that if they continued to bring in speakers like the right wing of the Supreme Court they did not need to waste their time on me. I haven't received another call. I write letters to the campus paper when they sing the praises of these jerks. I cannot believe that a 25 year professor leaves with nothing. Tuition is not cheap. This is not the school that I attended.
