The non-academic public tends to recognize professors as knowing more than ordinary people
'''Academic authority''' derives from constituted educational institutions investing their instructors with the mantle of "[[professor]". Generally this is in recognition of their great knowledge or contribution to a field of study.
The non-academic public tends to recognize professors as knowing more than ordinary people, and their pronouncements are given extra weight.
When professors assert things which a majority of the public disagrees with, academic controversies may arise.
