In this context, calling professors "educators" is like calling lawyers "paralegals." Professors are academics. They are being paid for their professional, informed opinions based on knowledge and years of study. This is the same as lawyers sharing their legal opinions based on educational background (knowledge of the law) and real-world experience. Also: In mergers, there is no "guilty or not". There is contract law, risk mitigation, strategy, and negotiation. Lawyers do so much more than simply saying what is "legal or illegal."
