I was so hoping he'd be a sociologist.

From the NYT: "On a Web site that allows students to rank professors, Mr. Kinzey had one of the top scores, with a reputation of being an easy grader and a tardy teacher."
And I have amused myself with the following use of ellipses:
"One side of him was a successful and productive member of society, but the other side of him . . . earned his doctorate from the University of Toledo."

And...Cal State hired him. So who gets the blame? Or are you saying all U. Toledo PhDs are criminals?

I am saying I am amusing myself through the (mis)use of ellipses.
I am pretty sure that not all, but only some of, University of Toledo Ph.D.s are criminals.

Where I served the average meth habit cost $18,000 per year.
Considering the cost of a kilo of meth from the coastal supply chain (the one feeding Cali) today is $25,000 and a smart drug dealer will buys tall (where it has only been cut once and is still above 50%) then a kilo delivered to the top supplier cost is $30,000 for 1000 grams. No major suppliers work US side any more, it is too hard to get some of the ingredients - but the recent rising price sees some local cooking labs.
That 1000 grams turns into 2000 grams at 25% and is packaged in quarter gram bundles. It costs around 25 cents to bundle and prepare / cut the drug, so we have a normal bindle of crack that has a cost to the distributor of 4 bucks.
Average use for an addict is 2 doses per day every day, every year, forever. Right as we speak the dealers in the nearest city to my own are priced at right around 25 bucks are are buying at 18. So depending on if you are handling your own distribution network on your campus, or if you have street level dealers buying packets, you are making no less than $100,000 off your initial kilo (rounding due to shrinkage - no one is honest in this business).
A community with a 1% addiction rate (not unheard of) like a college campus of 20,000 will generate 100 grams of consumption each day. Thus a kilo lasts about 20 days.
A professor working a large R1 who was tied into the tallest parts of the consumption chain could earn a million dollars a (school) year from their community, taking into account the normal cost of doing business (usually paying off local street gangs) and work few enough hours each week that they could charge it off to their service time.

Oh, let me supplement that with this thought.
The basic industry of drug distribution is corrupt (not just illegal) so that money estimate I have is based on some really round figures. Dealers sell 10% meth and 70% meth the same, and users will simply buy more meth if it is weaker, paying the same price (or die from a heart attack when they shoot the hard stuff and their body has gotten use to the weaker stuff at a higher dosage). That same professor could make 2 million by cutting, or make less when local politician demand their cut of the proceeds of the sales.

Sorry, one more post. If the dealer's university requires him to pay indirect costs, that could cut out 40-60% of his trafficking profit.
