Professor Pajín?

Former Senator Pajín,* current Minister of Health and Social Services, formerly a junior minister for international development, is thirty-five years old. She was twenty-four when elected to Spain's lower house in 2000. As neither the her own ministry nor her own party (in which she is responsible for a key secretariat) furnishes much in the way of biographical data for the senator, it's difficult to know what she was up to before the 2000 election. In 1997 she was the head of the youth wing of the Valencian Socialist Party and by October of that year was a student representative in the senate (claustre, in Catalan) of the Universitat d'Alacant. Did she go on to teach at her home university? The questions comes up because of the statement, in a blurb appended to an article by Pajín in the United Nations Chronicle, that she was a "member of the faculty" in Economics and Sociology at the U of A. The blurb, like the article, is only available in English. It dates from a time when Senator Pajín was Secretary of State for International Cooperation. "A member of the faculty" means, in the strictest sense, someone who has taught at university, charged with responsibility for a course rather than merely, say, correcting exams. Was Senator Pajín ever Prof. Pajín? If so, why is this information only available in English, in a  journal published in New York? If not, who said she had been, and why?

* Pajín gave up her seat in the Senate on 29 June 2011.
