Um, yeah, that person is not doing anything to dispel my HR-stereotype.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

I'm sorry, but your pleasant competence isn't enough. Love your firm!

Wait. This person was unfamiliar with the names of places you've worked? And titles you've had? @@ Sounds like a douche
Seconded. Sounds like an asshole. Basically he's drowning in applications and is desperate to find a way to filter you out. Unfamiliarity with your previous employers is, in his mind, adequate justification.
Of course, there's no justification for being a douche to THE NICEST.

What's wrong with you, msbelle? Why didn't you work places within his extremely limited experience and knowledge?

He is apparently not familiar with academic staff titles and departments at all. But there is not need to be an ass about it. Or, apparently major universities' names.

Associate Director, University 250th Anniversary
This is a bit awkward, but hardly worth going on about. You could say something like Associate Director, 250th Anniversary Celebration (or Observance or Events) for the dimmer bulbs in HR departments.

All,
I don't mean to make light of the government shutdown, but I do have a question. If the government shuts down for 1-2 weeks, what happens to tax collection?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
You still have to submit your federal taxes or a request for an extension by April 18th. Otherwise you will be charged penalties for filing late.
Those that have submitted paper returns, OTOH? Good luck in getting your refund if there's a shutdown.

Compassionately intolerant
Oh lord, my official title at the software company I worked for was "Special Projects Juggler." I still have the business cards. Wonder what Cranky McHRGuy would make of that.
How incredibly unhelpful. Joke him.
