It reminds me of one teaching we had. This particular teacher didn't do anything very bad, but was severly disliked among past and present students for disorganization, unrealistic expections (they were unrealistic because this teacher would changethem up to and including the night before the assignment was due), rudeness, among other things.
Students hoped to ban together to get her fired or at least removed from the class. Complaints were made to the administrator to the department who mentioned something that he didn't want the students to fail (my memory is fuzzy on this part), and it eventually resulted in a woman who came in toask for what our teacher did wrong. I think though students gave up when her first words out were something like, "Each semester we have this happen with this teacher and so we...".
It shows how hard it can be to get rid of a professor. Of course, I never thought it was THAT hard and teachers could get away with so much while still being paid. From all the delays and so forth, it looks like a teacher could get a good year or two worth of pay before they MIGHT have to leave.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
