Why do you repeatedly say "I can't believe I have to repeat this" and then say something you haven't mentioned in this thread? What an "associate professor" is isn't common knowledge, even for a journalist. It both means something different in Commonwealth countries and the definition of "associate" is "entry level" which doesn't fit either version of an associate professor.
