The profound sense of entitlement of professors like Webber can fairly be called disgusting. Some--make that many--successful academics have no compunction whatsoever about exploiting the time, energy and experience of others. I recently left academia on account on account of the exploitative culture and then declared an eternal moratorium on low-academic-value, unpublishable or otherwise uncredited technical work for academia. Perhaps I should start a movement called Technologists Leaving Academia.
