He's not a random crank - he got his Ph.D. in Philosophy at Princeton in 1999.[3]

Monton resigned from CU Boulder in 2014 after allegations of inappropriate relationships with students, part of a larger scandal involving sexual harassment in the philosophy department at CU Boulder. He was paid out $185,000, which a Boulder official described as a business decision.[4]
