Try to live close to campus, on a professor's salary, when (a) the school is in a big American city with astronomical real estate prices for anything of decent size in a decent area, (b) the school is 2nd rate and doesn't pay all that well.
You don't need to be a fucking environmentalist to live far, far from school. You only need to be a sane, rational human being.
PA: Right! Let's narrow this down: which departments contains hypocritical douchebags, popular-but-ineffective teachers, and cranky jerks? We are so close! If he would just add a non-productive-senior-member-who-won't-retire, then we would know for sure!
In my department the environmentalist who owns the gas-guzzler and lives far away uses those facts to justify her never being in her office or at meetings!
Observations from an old cranky jerk who happens to be a professional philosopher. Occasionally philosophical, most often just vulgar. Sometimes focused on sober points of logic and issues in political theory, but more frequently fixed on nonsense. Bad metal bands, crappy guitarists, stupid lyrics, celebrities, pop "culture," telemarketers, irrationality, and other annoyances. Always misanthropic. Anti-religious. Not particularly amusing, either. Some might say insulting. Strange mail. Kook magnet. Doom. Comments from other cranky jerks, young and old.

Not always ours lives only a block from campus, but still drives to work almost every day.
Not ours. He lives close and bikes. But I hate the environment and I live 30 miles away and I drive every day.
Are you aiming for a side gig at Slate?
And they smoke unfiltered Pall Malls.

I recommend on the basis of carbon printing that you start calling him or her "Prof. Bigfoot".
wv: coninate; as the property Casey Anthony will not instantiate
Hold it! Hold it! These are Spiros' actual colleagues. Surely we can use this information to figure out where Spiros works and uncover his identity.
Think Rutgers

"which departments contains hypocritical douchebags, popular-but-ineffective teachers, and cranky jerks?"
Philosophy departments. But we already knew that. :D
After considerable research I'm almost certain that Spiros works at Vanderbilt.
Ditto. This describes me...and my SUV.
When you look at the environmental costs involved in producing hybrid vehicles, you're better off with an suv anyway.
These laws are spot on in my department. Maybe Spiros is the guy in the office next door?
Is the guy in the office next door an ancient grumpy crank who should retire already?

Anon 7pm is correct, and S's real initials are RBT.
Yeah, but at least ours makes up for that carbon footprint by not bathing.
potential clue to the code?
"2541... big windows to let in the sun."
Spiros = Grant Hart
I think every person should glance at this.
Gosh, there is so much effective material here!
