Academic Purgatory: Stuck in the Middle

Welcome to Academic Purgatory.

Professor Virgil Henry, our 30-year veteran of higher education, has finally reached the base of Purgatory Mountain. There, his climb will begin: battling greedy administrators, lazy colleagues, and the seven deadly sins of higher education on his way to the summit.

Will he be complacent? Will he be a rabble-rouser? Will he fall victim to his hubris and be banished to the Ivory Tower? Read along as Virgil takes on the establishment while trying to change things from the inside out. While climbing the mountain isn't a Sisyphusian effort, the boulder is certainly heavy.
