You get that line if you click on the author's name.
The article starts by saying:
I'm a professor at a midsize state school.If you read between the lines that's a decision against revealing the name of the school and thus a decision to protect anonymity.In general the media likes to use pseudonyms when it can't use the real name, so the fact that you have a name on the top is no good evidence that the article isn't written anonymously or under a pseudonym.
That's why I looked for a statement at the start or end that the name was pseudo. I think not finding such a thing genuinely was evidence of non-pseudonymity, though clearly not enough evidence was it turned out. I didn't think of clicking on the name because I'm an idiot.
