The passage talks about the benefits provided when a professor appears on television news program to the university, the viewing public and the professor himself. The speaker opposes this claim by stating that the act of visiting such staged shows rather have more adverse effects for all the concerned parties.
First of all, the passage tells us about the benefits brought by the exposure of the television appearance to the professor. It brings recognition of the professor's work and identity among people who are not a part of the academic community. The lecturer opposes this stand by mentioning that usually such a professor is regarded as an entertainer and not a serious personality among the academic circle. Such an act looks unprofessional and leads to the loss of invites to conferences or a stop on the professor's research funding which can have detrimental effects on the professional life of the teacher.
Secondly, the benefits such as publicity of the university is presented as an outcome of the appearance of a faculty of the university which can leads to more donations and admissions. The lecturer claims that when a professor chooses to appear on guest shows it leads to a great waste of time in preparing and rehearsal for the show, time, which the professor could use in doing their research or teaching students. This hurts the resources of the university and the students who are under the professor's guidance.
Thirdly, the passage claims that it is even beneficial for the public when an academic personality visits television news program. According to the speaker, such academic lectures and talks does not help the common public because the television team greatly washes down the content of the topic so as to keep it interesting but tarnishes the purity of the content in this process. The audience do not get to learn as much from these television talk shows as they would if they attend a lecture of the same professor.
Thus, the speaker by stating the following reasons attacks the claims of the passage and tries to convey that the choice of attending a television show by a professor can have many unwanted outcomes which can hurt the professor and the university.
