DGG has, in his enthusiasm, overlooked the fact that she ''edited'', not authored, two of the three books. Since the book whe actually wrote has only nine citations, and no reviews, she fails . As an associate professor, she does not pass . She is not a "disinguished professor", she holds a named chair. Notre Dame has many of these, named for people who gave money; I just found this passel of ND profs in Economics http://econometrics.nd.edu/directory/evans_william/ http://econometrics.nd.edu/directory/mark_nelson/index.shtml http://econometrics.nd.edu/directory/waller_christopher/index.shtml and English http://english.nd.edu/faculty/profiles/stephen-fallon/index.shtml http://english.nd.edu/faculty/profiles/peter-holland/index.shtml http://english.nd.edu/faculty/profiles/margaret-anne-doody/index.shtml http://english.nd.edu/faculty/profiles/joseph-a-buttigieg/index.shtml http://english.nd.edu/faculty/profiles/maud-ellmann/index.shtml all with named chairs. It's harder to find a professor ''without'' a named chair at Notre Dame
