It happens. Academic raiders are just less likely to use
lawyers to do it.
of course, it's been a very long time
for me, perhaps it's all
changed now?
Same as it ever was, I think (though it's been a while for me
too).
Academicians have been "sampling" each other from the
beginning:
Academic politics is the most vicious and bitter form
of politics, because the stakes are so low.
-Wallace Sayre
"University politics are vicious precisely
because the stakes are so small. "
- Henry Kissinger (1923-)
As Villa trenchantly points out, "Perhaps the
conflict seems so strong because the stakes are so low." (as
cited in Affleck, Allen, & DeLoatch, 1997).
