Its a shame we can't use a technique from AI called back propagation. A
professor's rating, including the reliability of his grading, is based upon
the eventual outcome of his students.

A prof cranks out a lot of capable students who make it in industry and he
gets a higher weighting average then the bozos who crank out the
knuckle-draggers. Statistical methods spread the blame (or credit)
backwards evenly throughout a student's academic history. Eventually, high
value nodes (better teachers) will accumulate higher scores if they turn
out a statistically higher number of successes.
