Patronise

A colleague is considering giving in his notice at the college I am working in. He spoke to the Head of Department concerning low standards only to be patronised. This is what they do and its infuriating. To be patronised by someone with poor or bogus qualifications lives qualified people in an apoletic state. Do they genuinely feel they're the real thing? Horrors. Do this bunch of unintelligent opportunists really belive they are academic?
