Furthermore, some of the complaints from professors in the New York Times article are absurd. I was especially horrified by Emory Law School Professor Robert B. Ahdieh’s comments, where he somehow found it inappropriate for students to e-mail him saying that the material was being covered too fast, the reading wasn’t being used as efficiently as it could, or it might be helpful for him to end classes with a quick summary. Indeed. How dare those presumptuous, spoiled students e-mail a professor with ways that the classroome experience could be improved. Obviously, Professor Ahdieh is a god, practically perfect in every way, and if his students have a suggestion or problem with his classroom style, it is their own fault and they should drop out of his class.

Arrogance re: e-mail seems to cut both ways, to put it mildly.
