The Professor has written and published very profound and well-researched articles in many learned and popular journals. He has an international reputation. There is no reason at all to think he has in any way been obliged to resign because of a single interview statement that is realistic rather than controversial. He resigns for the reason he gives. A double-heart transplant is no joke. His is one of the finest minds cultivated within a very fine university.
A Professor earns his way....from a doctoral dissertation. In this case, that does not exist. The gentleman was appointed. We Singaporeans know how that works! Profound and well researched articles? One of the finest minds? Please. Keep your job. Don't border on the supernatural. We all know where this is coming from. The trends speak for themselves. It is just time that the purveyors of such trends are called to accountability...Dr.Eli, Martha's Vineyard.
