Roquemore refers to self in third person: "Roquemore," he says, "gives back"

"President Roquemore," writes President Roquemore, "has been
invited to present...." at some seminars. Roy Bauer is unimpressed.

     This morning, IVC President Glenn Roquemore sent an email to the IVC community.
     Entitled "President Roquemore gives back," it is especially odd.

Empty suit; vapid robot; automaton

     In the email, Roquemore writes that "President Roquemore has been invited to present in two community college leadership seminars."
     "The first," he informs us, is the CCCL CEO "Leadership Academy."
     "The second," he writes, is the "AACC Presidents [sic] Academy Summer Institute."
     (The only thing interesting about the event is the AACC's curious vacillation between "Presidents" and "President's." Neither spelling is correct, of course.)
     Here's how Roquemore describes the Institute:

[It] focuses on issues of critical importance to success in the role of the community college president, providing a mix of content experts and interaction around related case studies that result in the development/acquisition of ready-to-use skill sets that participants can apply back at their respective campuses.

Intellectual life at IVC under siege

     Who would write such a sentence? Who, having done so, would refrain from suicide?
     Roquemore goes on. "President Roquemore," he writes, "has also embarked on his second occasion to Chair a Partnership Resource Team (PRT), Institutional Effectiveness Program Initiative."
     OK.
     The act of referring to oneself in the third person is called "illeism."
     It's fucked up.

Roquemore actually "gives" photo ops and BS-athons to fatten his resume.

Ah, yes, I remember it as though it were yesterday.
