'''Professor style''', or professorial style, consists of personality traits that develop in typically [[liberal]] professors over time. These can include:
* a refusal to admit what is not known
* the ability to speak in self-contradiction without any hint of concern or correction
* a willingness to bully and intimidate some vulnerable students who are trying to learn
* extreme laziness, such as working the equivalent of only part-time for only part of the year
* an obsession with academic pedigree, often inflated
* complete embrace of socialism in pay scale
* astoundingly bitter disputes with colleagues which can include a refusal to talk with a peer and petty grudges lasting years
