Thread: Obama a "professor" of law or not?

I saw on fox news today, I believe, that the Clinton camp and the Obama
camp are fighting over whether or not Obama was a "professor" of law
at a law school in the Chicago area.

I think that the university is saying that Obama was a "lecturer", which, according to the law school, gives Obama the right to use the title "professor" on his resume.

Can anyone here help me out by giving me more details about this Obama law "professor" question? Thanks.

http://www.law.uchicago.edu/media/index.html - According to this official release from the school he taught at, he was a professor.

From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track. The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School's Senior Lecturers have high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined.
