California professor who teaches at nine colleges rakes in $800,000-a-year by holding 30 classes with 1,100 students | Victor Heller, Daily Mail
A new investigation found that professors are playing California's education system by teaching dozens of classes with pre-recorded online lectures, allowing them to cash in big time.
Thien-Huong Ninh Villarreal, who teaches sociology, ethnic studies and business, has managed to hold two full-time and seven part-time jobs at different community colleges in the Golden State and made nearly $800,000 in 2024.
Ninh Villarreal is currently teaching 30 classes to as many as 1,100 students, an investigation by CalMatters revealed.
And she is not alone.
There are no rules limiting how many colleges or districts an instructor can work within and no tracking systems to monitor a professor's workload as each of California's 73 districts is governed independently.
This has led to a widespread phenomenon, where more than 70 teachers are leveraging these conditions to their advantage and giving lectures across at least five different community college districts, Cal State or University of California campuses at the same time, CalMatters found.
Sarah Thompson, president of the Faculty Association of California Community Colleges, told the outlet: 'Obviously no one has enough time in a week to teach 30 classes and do a good job, so that’s very problematic.'
Another instructor, Andrew Vanden Heuvel, taught around 50 online classes and labs in astronomy to students in various California cities and even at schools in New Mexico, Michigan, Washington and Florida - all from an office above his garage in Michigan.
He instructed as many as 1,000 students in a single semester, which earned him a salary of $758,485 total in 2024, according to the report.
Vanden Heuvel insisted his students still get excellent education from his material, and that he is the only astronomy professor available at some rural colleges. He posts much of his material on Youtube, where he has garnered millions of views.
He told CalMatters: 'Now, did I push it further than some people think is morally conscionable? I don't think so.'
He also explained that 'in its current form, I am not grading anything' but instead all of his quizzes are multiple choice and graded by computer.
Bobby Seals also teaches 14 extra courses at four districts aside from his full-time job as ethnic studies professor at Evergreen Valley College in San Jose. He has about 930 students this semester.
CalMatters listed four more professors teaching 10 or more classes at different campuses, including disciplines such as computer science, psychology, business and art history.
Community colleges evaluate the quality of all courses, but have no insight into the actual workload of their professors.
The Cal State and University of California systems can track employment and limit the number of courses each professor can teach.
But they might not know whether a professor is simultaneously teaching courses at a community college.

🚨 NOW: President Trump just dropped this line on the Democrats' post-midterm $3 TRILLION WIPEOUT in the market
"Has anyone noticed that immediately after the Election the Stock Market lost 3 Trillion Dollars in Value? In other words, Investors throughout the World hated seeing what took place on Election Day. But have no fear, the Market has since gone up, and America will soon be GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
And now, gas prices + oil are coming down. Keep going! 🇺🇸
NEW: Democrats are talking about restoring USAID after their Midterms win
Here’s a look back at the programs Elon Musk discovered were being funded by USAID:
- American taxpayers are giving money to Afghanistan, Yemen and Syria
- He found that the USAID has 10,000 people employees and every year they give away $40 billion
- He found that the USAID gave money to a transgender clinics in India. “I didn't know that. I bet you the American people didn't know that”
- He found that the USAID gave money to support electric vehicles in Vietnam
- He found that USAID gave $1.5 million to a Serbian LGBTQ group, they got $1.5 million to QUOTE, “advanced diversity, equity, inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business communities”
- They found that USAID spent $164 million to support radical organizations around the world
- They gave $122 million of that to groups aligned with foreign terrorist organizations
- According to this report in Mr. Musk, the USAID has given millions of dollars to quote organizations in Gaza controlled by Hamas
- He found that we gave $2 million, USAID did, for sex changes in Guatemala
- He found that we gave $20 million to produce a new Sesame Street show in Iraq
- He found that we gave $4.5 million of taxpayer money to combat misinformation in Kazakhstan
- He found that we gave $10 million, USAID did, of meals to an al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group called the Nusra Front
- Mr. Musk found that we gave $7.9 million of taxpayer money to a project that would teach Sri Lankan journalists to avoid binary gendered language. (The USAID took 8 million bucks and gave it to a bunch of journalists in Sri Lanka to teach them how to avoid binary gendered language)
- USAID gave $1.5 million to promote LGBT advocacy in Jamaica
- They gave $1.5 million to rebuild the Cuban media ecosystem
- They gave $1.5 million for quote, art for inclusion of people with disabilities in Belarus
- Another $3.9 million for LGBT causes in Macedonia
- $8.3 million for equity and inclusion education in Nepal
“I could go all night and many of my colleagues are upset. They're really mad at Mr. Musk. Hell, I think we ought to give him a medal”
But also keep in mind, USAID also funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to nonprofit arms of American businesses that are aligned with Democrats
Democrats want to restart their MASSIVE American taxpayer money laundering operations
🚨 RUBIO JUST SAID THE NUMBER THEY NEVER WANTED ON TV 🚨
Americans work 40 years.
They retire.
Social Security: $800. $900. A thousand a month.
Somebody who got here from Cuba three months ago: $1,500 a month.
Marco Rubio said it out loud.
“So imagine if you’ve been working here for 40 years and your Social Security check is smaller than the benefits going to a 28-year-old, able-bodied person who just got here. That’s real. That happens. That’s happening every day. That makes no sense.”
You paid in.
They landed.
They beat your check.
That’s not compassion.
That’s a slap in the face with your own tax dollars.
El secretario Rubio rompe con los nativistas y sale en defensa de la migración y asimilación en EEUU:
«Algunas de las personas más patriotas de este país —y esto no es una crítica a nadie—, pero algunas de las personas más patriotas que jamás hayas conocido son aquellas que son estadounidenses por elección, no las que lo son por nacimiento».
«Y te diré por qué: porque he vivido en Estados Unidos toda mi vida. Nací en Estados Unidos, he crecido aquí. No sé cómo es la vida… pero cuando conoces a alguien que sabe cómo es la vida en otro lugar, cuando conoces a alguien que sabe lo que es vivir en una sociedad en la que no tienes, no solo libertades políticas, sino donde tu propio futuro queda determinado el día en que naces por lo que hicieron tus padres y por si tenían o no contactos—, cuando conoces a gente así, ellos saben que la vida en este país es especial. Saben que la vida en este país es diferente, y tienen mucho que aportar».
«Así que los estadounidenses por elección, las personas que lo hicieron como es debido y decidieron ser estadounidenses, a menudo, creo, comprenden lo especial que es este país más que alguien como yo, que incluso nací aquí, he vivido toda mi vida aquí y nunca he tenido que vivir bajo un sistema diferente o una realidad diferente. Y creo que también necesitamos escuchar más esas voces. Creo que son muy poderosas en ese sentido».
🚨 TRUMP JUST MADE 5 MOVES IN 48 HOURS.
And nobody is connecting the dots.
MOVE 1: Signed executive order threatening 25% TARIFFS on any country trading with Iran.
Target: China. India. Turkey.
The petrodollar stranglehold is ENDING.
MOVE 2: Threatened to SUE his own Federal Reserve nominee if he doesn't lower rates.
"It was a joke."
No. It was a WARNING.
The Fed's days are numbered.
MOVE 3: Pentagon CUT ALL TIES with Harvard.
Military training. Fellowships. Programs.
ALL GONE.
The Ivy League pipeline to power is DEAD.
MOVE 4: Launched TrumpRx.
43 medications. Ozempic included.
Big Pharma's monopoly: BROKEN.
They charged you $1,000. He's giving it for $300.
MOVE 5: DHS funding expires February 13th.
6 days from now.
Controlled shutdown incoming.
Why? Because you can't RESTRUCTURE what's still running.
Connect the dots:
Iran tariffs = END of petrodollar
Fed threat = END of central banking control
Harvard cut = END of Deep State recruitment
TrumpRx = END of Big Pharma monopoly
DHS shutdown = RESTRUCTURING of homeland security
This isn't chaos.
This is a DEMOLITION.
Piece by piece.
System by system.
Pillar by pillar.
The old world is being dismantled in REAL TIME.
And the new one is being built while you watch.
🔺 DARK TO LIGHT 🔺
FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING

🚨 NOW: Global oil supply has OVERTAKEN demand for the first time since the Iran war BEGAN
IMAGINE. THAT.
Supply jumped to 105.4 MILLION barrels a day as Gulf exports came ROARING back as President Trump expected to happen
Brent crude has CRASHED 32%, from $136 a barrel on Oct 8 to about $93
And the U.S. is LEADING the Americas surge, part of 1.6 MILLION barrels a day in new production this year.
Lower prices at the pump are COMING! 🇺🇸
🚨 HOLY CRAP! President Trump is piling on after Gov. Gavin Newsom got RIPPED by the father of a slain child — whose k*ller is having his death sentence COMMUTED by Newsom
“Some of the people that Gavin Newscum freed from the Death Penalty, after many years of going through the California “Justice” System, make Hannibal Lecter, of Silence of the Lambs, look like a nice guy! President DJT”
This father is furious.
They did not expect such vile k*llers to be let out of accountability 💔
Remember this if Gavin runs for president, America.
The Donald Trump Administration is implementing new “Good Person” requirements to be eligible for Citizenship
“USCIS issued a new policy memo that redefined what it meant to have good moral character. It's one of the requirements that we have to become a US citizen”
The new requirements are:
- Willful failure or refusal to support your kids and dependent
- Public-benefits fraud, deception or unlawful receipt and that includes receiving, or using benefits, providing false income or household information
- Failure to meet sponsorship, Affidavit of Support obligations. (If you previously promised the government you would financially support someone you sponsored to come to the US and then you didn’t actually do it, that can count against you when you apply for citizenship)
- Intentional avoidance of self-sufficiency via means-tested benefits (This means you voluntarily reduce your work hours, quit, or keeping earnings artificially low solely to stay under eligibility thresholds for public welfare programs)
All of this is common sense and honestly it should be retroactive. All foreigners who have got citizenship should be re-evaluated and have their citizenship revolted if they’ve done any of this
🚨 JUST NOW: President Trump exposes that leftist Judge Ana Reyes is BLOCKING him from removing DANGEROUS HAZARDS and TRASH from the "Trash Island" golf course in DC
But he's moving forward ANYWAY!
"Unfortunately, Judge Ana Reyes doesn’t want us to quickly and inexpensively fix up the Course which is, also, very dangerous — The Fairways are far too close together. When you walk down the corridors of Trash Island, you don’t hear the sound of the running Potomac, all you hear is the sound of people screaming, “FORE!” In any event, we’re making progress, and hopefully the Judge will agree that the Dignity, Beauty, and Importance of Washington, D.C., will be greatly enhanced by this soon to be beautiful Project."
"Trash Island, after years of laughter and scorn, will evolve into something very special, something which the Judge will be able to take great pride in seeing! All over the World it will be acclaimed as being the Best Golf Course anywhere, attracting the U.S. Open, the PGA Championship, the Ryder Cup, and the Presidents Cup, with all of the Economic Development that will bring."
"Very importantly, also, is that anyone living in the D.C. area will be given a 50% discount on any and all Rates charged."
"The Department of the Interior has done a magnificent job of cleaning, fixing, renovating, and rebuilding 83 Fountains, Monuments, and Statues throughout our beautiful Capital. Even the Reflecting Pool, which hasn’t worked properly since its building in 1922, is open, beautiful, and working as it was always expected to do. Perhaps most importantly, Crime in Washington, D.C., is down 91%, A RECORD, and the People are happy and safe again! The Department of the Interior’s Golf Project will greatly enhance everything else that has already taken place in the last two year period. Everyone is proud and grateful again! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"
🚨 BREAKING: In a JAW-DROPPING first-time ever, Elon Musk's SpaceX just CAUGHT its Starship spacecraft with the tower's chopstick arms, and the team ERUPTS in celebration
"USA! USA!" chants BLASTING 🇺🇸
Starbase, TX has MADE HISTORY! Everyone is stunned!
Fully REUSABLE rockets are here

🚨 BOOM: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis just dropped this line on anyone expecting President Trump to act defeated for 2 years
"You know, President Trump — when people count him out? That's typically when he COMES OUT! I mean, he's been counted out a NUMBER of times throughout his political career." 🔥
"I think now they say, oh, the Democrats have him, they got these big majorities...I think they're going to overreach, and I think it's going to give the administration a chance to come back and put POINTS on the BOARD." 👏🏻
Stephen Miller is ALREADY hitting the ground running in his first week as Chief of Staff
Senate Democrats aren't waiting for January to over-reach. They've ALREADY sent Elon Musk a letter demanding his Starlink records and more lawfare is coming
The overreach has already started, and Trump is ready!

A MUST READ:
🚨 BIG UPDATE:
President Trump - today, because of you - Secretary of Homeland Security Mullin is in tears. Tears streaming down his face in front of the entire chamber. And he said it himself — what President Trump did for my son - I will carry that gratitude with me for the rest of my life.
Senator Markwayne Mullin's 15-year-old son Jim was a world-class wrestler. Strong.
Gifted. His father's entire world. Then, one day, a severe brain injury changed everything in an instant. Jim opened his eyes - and he could no longer recognize his own parents. The son Markwayne had watched grow up every day - looked at his own father and saw a complete stranger.
There was only one thing Jim still remembered. Donald Trump was the President.
When Trump learned what had happened- he didn't simply send a card. He didn't make a public statement. He personally picked up the phone and called. Then he sent his private plane so Jim could travel to a rehabilitation center in California.
And for two weeks - even while in the middle of the campaign trail - Trump called that boy every single day.
Then one day, his staff told him it was time to leave. He said, "not yet." They returned again. He said, "not yet." The third time they came - Trump looked at them and said - "I guarantee you that plane isn't leaving for at least 15 more minutes."
He walked inside. Sat beside Jim. Took his hand. And said — "Do you know why I love your dad? Because he loves you."
That one sentence. That one visit. Began helping Jim's memory come back.
And in March 2026 - Mullin sat inside that chamber - tears he simply couldn't hold back - and said the words that left everyone listening emotional.
"He did not do it for publicity. He did it because he cared.
My wife heard this tonight and couldn't speak for a very long time. Then she quietly said - a man who stops a plane for a 15-year-old boy - without cameras, without headlines, without asking for credit
- that isn't a President simply performing his duty. That is a human being showing a very rare kind of heart.
Tonight, say one prayer for Jim Mullin and his recovery. And say another for the man who chose to sit beside him when he had every reason to keep moving. 😭 🙏🇺🇸

🚨🇺🇸 | Sandy Friend, madre de Michael Lyons, un niño de ocho años secuestrado, violado, torturado y asesinado en California en 1996, denunció la decisión del gobernador demócrata Gavin Newsom de conmutar las condenas a muerte de 548 reclusos.
Entre los beneficiados está Robert Boyd Rhoades, condenado por asesinar al pequeño de más de 70 puñaladas después de abusar sexualmente de él.
«Y durante 10 horas —10 horas desde la primera puñalada infligida a Michael hasta las tres últimas que le costaron la vida—, se produjeron entre 70 y 80 puñaladas en total. Lo violó brutalmente y lo sodomizó. La tortura fue tan atroz que constituyó uno de los cargos en su contra. Justicia. Quiero que Newsom reflexione sobre esto», dijo Friend en un vídeo que se volvió viral.
«Siento un dolor profundo que me desgarra el alma y una rabia que grita dentro de mí», también declaró la madre a The Sacramento Bee.
Friend aseguró que ninguna autoridad consultó a las familias antes de tomar la decisión y calificó la medida de «bofetada al sistema de justicia».
Las condenas fueron sustituidas por cadena perpetua sin posibilidad de libertad condicional. La madre prometió continuar luchando por la memoria de su hijo y por las demás víctimas.
