Sternberg has always been the kind of person to work his way up, and who's to blame him. I'm sure his goal is presidency of a major university and the $1million + salary that comes with it. So what's wrong with that? Somebody has to do it. From a guy who turned his dissertation into a book to President of Major University. A true success story.
