How do you feel about professor's assigning readings which they themselves have written? What about articles that heavily feature them and their achievements?

Are you sure Chris wants to be in academia? You'll have to write up an oath that he will strive to be independent and friendly and nice to the staff and students and not lose his mind. Then again, he's not an engineer, so I think he'll be okay.

I haven't ever seen Chris at work, but I know him well enough to know that he tries to treat the departmental secretaries with respect. I've told him enough about your challenges that he knows better, I hope! Still, there is something strange about the world of academics. They just seem to forget how to interact normally. My theory is that they get so immersed in their field of study, its hard for them to reemerge into the real world with the rest of us humans.

I have to concur with your theory. :-)
