He forces them to wear nametags since he can't remember any of them, even ones he's had in his classes more than once. He's pompous, acerbic and generally oblivious to all around him. His son James (Ashton Holmes) has moved out of the house in order to escape the infectious atmosphere there. Now he secretly writes poetry in his dorm.
