You do realize that he is on the dole at the Hoover Institution. The Hoover Inst. is located at Stanford and technically part of the larger university there. However, just being employed by Hoover does not mean one is a professor at Stanford, something which apparently has been a sore point among some at Stanford. As Hoover got more and more conservative there appears to have been a growing rift between Hoover and Stanford.

I say that because VDH himself was a professor at a state school! That’s right, he was on the government dole and likely will get some retirement when he gets of age.

VDH is the classic case of an academic who chucked scholarship for the fame of celebrity by hawking his credentials while selling anything his audience will buy. It’s a shame, but he is far from the only person to go down that path.
