Well, does that make me the Queen of Romania? ("Oh life is a glorious
cycle of song/ A medley of extemporanea/And love is a thing that can
never go wrong/ And I am the Queen of Romania."--Dorothy Parker).
Actually, their excuse stank. For one, they said it was only a "draft"
but _The Chronicle_ pointed out they never said that on the website
where it was posted. I think someone tried to slip it through hoping no
one would notice. If discovered, they could always say it was a mistake,
no? In the meantime, perhaps they could get a bunch of students to switch
to more rewarding (literally) fields.
And yes, what about poor behavioral sciences and "exercise psychology"?
