#2 They worry their televised lectures revealing their lumpen-Marxist bias --- not about their televised lectures revealing their bloody incompetence?

#6 Worrying that their lectures will reveal how much time, and time is money if you consider tuition fees, that they waste on irrelevant topics like politics? Or that they are jackasses...

#8 There is also the fact that many (most?) of the college lectures could be repeats of a video lecture recorded years or even decades earlier. What has changed in Mathematics or other foundation courses that requires a new text book every year?
