Plenty of vets don't commit violent felonies or the outlandish disappearance scheme this fellow engineered a couple of years ago. There's something wrong with him for sure, but don't tar all vets with this brush.
There's more than one person working at CU. That's how to understand this paradox.
Or meth! That's also a likely explanation.
All the more reason to clean this up. Because of the necessary privacy concerns, it impugns the character of every Oxford grad, every CU philosophy prof, the CU philosophy department, CU itself, etc. When students are afraid to use professors in this department for references, because they know some of them have bad reputations but they don't know which ones, it's a big problem.
"The invitation to conduct that review was issued by the philosophy department, Dean Steven Leigh of the College of Arts & Sciences, and Provost Russell Moore." It was jointly requested, not initiated solely by the philosophy department. The report was made public by the administration to start the process of changing the departmental culture. I hope the report is well-heeded. A department with a reputation as a terrible place for women to work and learn, and as a place with an unprofessional drinking culture embedded in the curriculum, is not a top-quality department, regardless of scholarship. Arguing about it (which is what philosophers do best) is not going to help here.
No qualified faculty need be concerned after the Ward Churchill drama. He was a fraud of epic proportions.
Again, it's not the topic but the way it's presented.
And is ATA really a volunteer position that has no possible bearing on future career connections? Because if not, there could be valid reasons for wanting to be an ATA for any class in your major.
She loves shocking her young students by making other students dress and act liked debased sex workers, and wants to keep doing it. I can easily believe it.
Well, the students are paying (a lot) for their education. Attendance was not mandated at the skit, according to an earlier story. However, Adler claims it has high pedagogical value, so not attending would be a loss to the students if that claim is true. It does sound like an offensive and questionable way to present information, having your grad students pretend to be actors pretending to be sex workers. And some of them did not feel free to decline the gig.
It was the students who complained that "turned her in" though.
