I think this professor can just write off his student evaluations this year:
A community college professor has been charged with using his students' names and Social Security numbers to obtain department store credit cards. Bradley Neil Slosberg, 49, of Winter Haven, was arrested Friday on charges of criminal use of personal identification and scheming to defraud, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said.Slosberg and his girlfriend, Deborah Hafner, stole the identities of at least three of the students from his anatomy and physiology class at Polk Community College, sheriff's office spokeswoman Carrie Rodgers said.
I never would have worred about this when I was a student, nor would I ever have thought of it when I was an adjunct. Yet another example of stupidity going hand in hand with poor ethics: if he were going to take this big a risk, I'd say applying for a Visa and immediately buying something big he could sell for some serious cash (or a one-way ticket to France) would have been smarter. Instead, it seems he seriously violated his students' trust in order to obtain a card from the likes of Sears.
