Profiles in Academic Excrement: Victor Fleischer of the University of San Diego School of Law


Thanks to the Law School Truth Center for finding this rat bastard?s drivel.

Ass-Clown is Upset That Seton Hall is Cutting Staff:

On July 9, 2013, the New York Times Dealbook published Cockroach Victor Fleischer?s piece, entitled
?The Unseen Costs of Cutting Law School Faculty.? Take a look at the following, stench-filled excerpts:

?The situation at Seton Hall is representative of many other non-elite law schools. Firing untenured faculty is a shortsighted approach to managing an academic budget. It encroaches on an important principle of academic freedom, namely that a tenure decision should be based on the merit of the case, not the budget of the department.

As a tax scholar who writes about issues that can hit rich people in the pocketbook, I am sometimes reminded why the institution of tenure, for all its flaws, is worth keeping around.? [Emphasis mine]

Yes, where would society be without your invaluable contributions?!?! Later on, the douche-bag wrote:

?Seton Hall?s decision to allow budget considerations to affect tenure outcomes sets a bad precedent. Law professors, economists and other academics are often called to testify in front of Congress, and academic research is often used to shape legal policy. Academic views are respected precisely because they are free from economic pressures; academics are not beholden to clients. If universities tie tenure decisions to department budgets, deans will be tempted to think about pleasing alumni in determining whom to tenure and whom to let go.

Across the country, law school enrollment has declined as prospective students respond to dismal employment prospects. Seton Hall has slashed its tuition by more than half for well-qualified students, to about $22,000 from $47,000, matching the in-state tuition rate at Rutgers. While reducing class size and lowering tuition is the right response to weak employment prospects, it obviously leaves a hole in the budget.

Neither law schools in particular nor universities in general are well designed to deal with fluctuating revenue. Academic budgets have high fixed costs, largely attributable to the salaries of tenured professors. Budgets have exploded with increases in administrative staff, information technology staff, and health care and pension costs.? [Emphasis mine]

Victor Fleischer points out that tenured ?professors? account for a large portion of a law school?s budget. Yet, he believes that schools ? including the parent univer$itie$ - should keep funneling money on these expendable employees who provide little ?work.? Yes, you ?educators? are just as disposable as the rest of us.

On July 10, 2013, LSTC published an entry entitled ?New York Times Writer Defends Unjust Faculty Cuts.? Read his biting summary of Fliescher?s views:

?Clinical legal education: a boondoggle. Junior faculty who publish fluff are important, people. Their right to publish offensively useless fluff must be protected at all costs. Now pay your tuition and leave us alone to bask in our six-figure prestige. MY CV IS TWENTY PAGES LONG AND PROVES I ADD VALUE TO THE HUMAN RACE.? [Emphasis in original]

Scroll down to the first comment, from OTLSS co-author dybbuk. On the same day, at 5:39 am, he posted this remark:

?If Professor Fleischer of the University of San Diego School of Law wants to identify a boondoggle, he could look over at his spouse, Professor Fleischer of the University of San Diego School of Law. Yes, there are two of them, and the boondoggle is called "spousal hiring."?

Apparently, that the sewer rat feels that this is a perk that should be available to ?law professors.? Yet, I am sure that the jackass brays whenever corporate boards feature familial relations.

Confirmation That USD Sewer of Law Also Hired Victor?s Wife as a Lecturer:

Check out this April 10, 2013 press release labeled ?Howard Abrams, Miranda Fleischer and Victor Fleischer Join USD School of Law Faculty.? Apparently, this Clay Aiken doppelganger taught at the same ABA-accredited in$titution as Paul Campos, before taking his and his wife asses to the 68th greatest and most pre$TTigiou$ law school in the land, i.e. the University of San Diego Sewer of Law.

?Victor Fleischer joins USD?s tax faculty after teaching or serving as visiting professor at the University of Colorado, UCLA, University of Illinois, New York University and Georgetown University. He teaches in the areas of partnership and corporate taxation, deals, tax policy and private equity.?

Conclusion: Victor Fleischer is a typical hypocrite pig who believes that other business entities ? such as oil companies, private equity firms and hedge fund managers ? should be held accountable for their actions, while his filthy, vile, trash indu$try is left alone. For $ome rea$on, this ?tax scholar? has not pushed the idea of removing the tax-exempt status of highly-profitable U.S. colleges and universities. By the way, if this bitch is such a tax ?expert,? he should realize that companies ? including supposed ?non-profit institutions of higher education? ? need to meet payroll. Businesses are not keen on the idea of losing money. In the end, Fleischer is another academic charlatan who wants to keep the gravy train rolling along. Did you notice that the cockroach did not once mention, in his lengthy Dealbook piece, the students? interests?!?!? This jackal does not give one damn about YOU, the student or recent graduate.
