Yeah. This is... amazingly dumb. The only reason I feel sorry for them is that they seem to be such silly, stupid people. I hope they find help and get better.
And oh yes, the things everyone "knows". The first person to study fan fiction? What sort of research was he planning to do? I really, really want to know. And at what state his preparations were. If he's the kind of academic who thinks Wikipedia is junk and Google Scholar is something for those damn kids who don't remember having to do scholarschip without internet or databases and uphill both ways... Then yes, he might not have discovered any research about fan culture in his department library.
