Professors are paid for their lectures, not for their papers.
If you are able as a teacher, helpful for your students,
and also humble enough to understand
mathematicians are not "elitist class",
that is an illusion often found among so called reseachers,
then I beleave No one can call you "akan".
Then, what is supposed to be the most important factor for those people
being employed as a faculty member? Not to be called "akan professor"
or not to be called "non-active professor as a researcher"? I do agree,
very much, that the existence of "the group of active researchers" is
certainly an illusion. This is due to the fact that there is no
definitive criterion which uniformly distinguishes "being active" and
"being non-active".
But, what is the reason that, on the occasion of the employment as well
as the occasion of the promotion(s), we are obliged to present the list
of our publications? This seems to be quite curious that if you are
(only) interested in "non-akan professors", you don't have to pay any
attentions to the list of publications. I'm so sorry that I'm so sticky
to you.
I thank you so much for your personal correspondences.
P.S. Please be quiet. I'm very much afraid that we are getting a lot.
