Title: Now THAT's a professor!

Student says he probably can't finish his thesis because ISIS is holding his family hostage. His professor sends a team of mercenaries to extract him. I can't see any American professors or universities doing this.

In the USA, college administrators would be terminating him for his racist, anti-Moslem actions, and at least some politicians (Democrats, of course) would be agitating for his prosecution.

The threat of danger prompted the professor to take matters into her own hands and contact the university’s then-security chief Per Gustafson.

“It was almost as if he'd been waiting for this kind of mission,” Turner told the university magazine. “Per Gustafson said that we had a transport and security deal which stretched over the whole world.”

Uh...that seems...interesting for a university to have.

I wonder if Yale, Hahvahd, Princeton and Stanford have such deals ...

Their deals are probably with ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and the Taliban.

CIA and NSA etc have had their tentacles in the Ivy League schools for a long time.
