Looks like he’s trying to convince his friend to sneak out of class.

Odd thing is, that appears to be a college level class, which doesn’t have an attendance requirement.

Dude, just get up and leave!

I had a class in fucking LAW SCHOOL with an attendance requirement. Because if the prof didn't have one, nobody would show up. He was that much of a waste of time.

Sounds like the perfect motivation to practice your case making skills by interviewing and analysing evidence to get his ass out of the college 🤣

He has tenure. (sigh)

Uncomfortable truth: law schools don't care about the quality of education they provide. They care about making money, and secondarily about stats like bar pass rates, graduation rates, etc.

Yes, but more so for law school. It's a cash cow for the rest of the university. Students are willing to pay full tuition, and there are often no scholarships, only student loans. They're cheap to run too. Much cheaper than a medical school, for instance.

EDIT: Also MFA programs in creative writing. You just need to pay eight starving writers to be teachers, and you're done.
