Great example of bad writing. Alas, many see this as a sign of erudition. My sister is a tenured professor of Special Education at a major university. She not only writes like this, she speaks like this. Academia has warped her being. The jumbled jargon and pervasive passive voice, repeated over years, sucks out your soul and voids your brain. It’s really a “professional” code that these folks use to exclude laymen and mark their territories with verbal piss. It stinks. I’m glad I escaped. :)
