A Minnesota professor who admitted on the Huffington Post that he stole campaign signs for John McCain posted along the highway has resigned.
Phil Busse left his temporary post at St. Olaf College after the school learned of his Oct. 30 posting, “Confessions of a Lawn Sign Stealer,” in which the visiting professor admitted to snatching signs from Highway 19 in southeast Minnesota, the Northfield News reported Monday.
Well, it’s great he had to resign, but what does it say about academia that a professor not only stole conservative lawn signs, but apparently thought he could get away with admitting it to the world?
