Is he a Columbia asshole or a Harvard asshole? The answer is important, because those are two very different types of asshole. Both are obsessed with showing you how smart they are, but the Columbia asshole does it by telling you everything he knows, while the Harvard asshole does it by acting bored with whatever you say. The Harvard variety is at least laid back, and the Columbia variety can be interesting; but put them together and you have a world-weary pest.

Probably not just Harvard - most American academics I have come across act like this. I remember handing over a course I was running at a local uni to an American guy with a PHD. He kept yawning all the time I was explaining what I had been teaching - it was quite effective up until the point I realised he had only understood half of what I'd been saying (which was half way through the course when there was a student uprising).
