Rutgers professor suspended after admitting to students he doesn't know what he's teaching.

After being assigned by Rutgers University to teach a class called "Human Aggression," a subject matter out of his realm of expertise, anthropology professor Robert Trivers admitted his lack of confidence in the subject matter to his students. For being so honest, the university suspended Trivers with pay.

In an interview with The Daily Targum, Trivers rebuked Rutger's behavior. "You would think the University would show a little respect for my teaching abilities on subjects that I know about and not force me to teach a course on a subject that I do not at all master,” he said.

In the meantime, Rutgers has assigned a different professor to teach the class, one which administrators emailed students saying he "regularly teaches [the class] and did so during the fall 2013 semester, so he is ready to step in without missing a beat."

This is a systemic way of teaching human aggression for a class called "Human Aggression." Academics getting catty, passive-aggressive emails, backstabbing. It's grad level stuff.
