I speak from personal experience - anyone who says that faculty web
pages and course notes are reviewed, peer reviewed, or even approved by
the institution at large -- or even a line manager in most cases -- is
an idiot, who has literally no idea how universities actually work.

Mind you, anyone attempting to use facts and rational argument to change
Jerry Stuckle's mind about anything is also an idiot.
