Maybe he felt that his instructions to actually deliver the envelopes were misguided. So, he exercised some independent thought and decided to toss them on the ground like trash. Bravo.

"When you compare him, not to perfection, but to other...
...ended up with very low enrollment, and this other TF and I had to flip a coin," says Ellison, who won the coin toss. (The loser is now at another university.) "If you are told you are going to have a position [and the course is under-enrolled] there are times when you can't get another...
