See... this is the kind of thinking in academia that just cracks me up. The
MINIMUM requirements are that you have completed academic training. No
minimum requirement of real-world experience. (Should real-world experience
have been required for reaching Ph.D. status, I stand corrected.)

We are specifically seeking applicants with experience in teaching
Java (J2SE). Familiarity with Unix host systems also required.

"Experience" is merely helpful... but not a requirement. Sigh.

Storrs campus is not relevant. Online teaching experience preferred,

Hey, at least they allow for a Masters as on options. Most academic
positions just require a PhD.

But non-academics need not apply...

It's kinda logical (though not excusable).. these people are in the business
(*BUSINESS*) of handing out diplomas. In other words, they're not about
teaching/learning primarily, but about letting a subset of society become
part of a club who can wave pieces of paper in the air. And becoming a
member of that club costs money.

If the University of Connecticut was truly about learning first, then they
would be eager to find the BEST Java instructor out there, regardless of
that individual's academic history. Clearly they're not... its behaviour
typical of "we're a members-only club, sorry, and please take your foot off
our doormat."

If "Phd" Andrew knew anything about biology, he'd know that inbreeding is a
poor way to maximize gene pool potential.
