I checked my prof on ratemyprof and he apparently teaches at 4 different campuses: 3 campuses for one university and at another campus for another university.
How does that work?

Yes, it is possible for a professor to teach at more than one university. This is known as holding a dual appointment or having a joint appointment.
There may be limitations depending on the specific universities and their policies. Some universities may not allow their professors to hold a dual appointment, while others may have restrictions on the number of courses or percentage of time a professor can devote to teaching at another institution.
A professor typically needs to apply for a dual appointment at each university separately. They may need to provide a CV, teaching evaluations, and other materials to demonstrate their qualifications and expertise. The approval process may also involve the department or faculty at each university.
It is not uncommon for professors to hold dual appointments, especially in fields where there is high demand for their expertise. This allows them to expand their academic network and potentially increase their research collaborations and opportunities for professional development.
Some potential benefits of holding a dual appointment include expanding their teaching and research opportunities, networking with colleagues at different institutions, and potentially increasing their income. It can also bring diversity to their teaching experience and allow them to contribute to different academic communities. However, it is important for a professor to carefully consider their workload and responsibilities at each university to ensure they can maintain a high level of performance and avoid burnout.
