I think I agree with your general sentiment even if I might disagree with how you're presenting it. I think too often professors view class as simply something standing between them and getting back to their research, much in the same vein as staff meetings or similar.

That being said, from the article, a student expecting a professor to meet with her at 8 PM is ludicrous. Office hours are office hours. If they are "inconvenient" (which, best case means she had class those two hours, or more likely she didn't want to wake up early enough to be there at 9), make an appointment and ask the professor when another reasonable time to meet would be.

And calculating that the professor "owes you" $160 in education is a great way to be told to either show up to office hours or figure it out on your own.
