There's something wrong with him for sure, but don't tar all vets with this brush.

That's how to understand this paradox. Sat, 1 Feb 2014 05:16:44 +0000 http://www.dailycamera.com/ci_25035043#IDComment790642774 http://www.dailycamera.com/ci_25035043#IDComment790569144 Or meth! That's also a likely explanation.

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.

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.

He was a fraud of epic proportions.

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.

I can easily believe it. Tue, 17 Dec 2013 22:36:38 +0000 http://www.dailycamera.com/ci_24737023#IDComment769626942 http://www.dailycamera.com/ci_24737023#IDComment769624395 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.

That didn't happen.

The word liberal has been used interchangeably with progressivism, fascism, Marxism, Socialism, and Christianity. Take your pick. Until people start defining their terms, no conversation is possible.

And he lied about having created artwork that he copied and sold. Sat, 14 Dec 2013 04:22:25 +0000 http://www.dailycamera.com/cu-news/ci_24721349/#IDComment767381964 http://www.dailycamera.com/cu-news/ci_24693476/cu-boulder-police-arrest-student-connection-sex-offense#IDComment766415237 I think people are suggesting locking doors because people want to believe they can keep themselves safe. A home invasion is horrifying. If they can identify something they can do differently that would keep them safer, they will sleep better at night. I expect you'll also be getting advice about guns and such, which is based on the same reasoning. Edit: There are also a lot of jerks who post here. : ( Thu, 12 Dec 2013 07:54:17 +0000 http://www.dailycamera.com/cu-news/ci_24693476/cu-boulder-police-arrest-student-connection-sex-offense#IDComment766415237 http://www.dailycamera.com/cu-news/ci_24693476/cu-boulder-police-arrest-student-connection-sex-offense#IDComment766412446 Yes, he's completely responsible and I assume he'll be convicted and hopefully incarcerated. Also, a locked door is a sensible precaution. Why can't it be both things? Thu, 12 Dec 2013 07:48:22 +0000 http://www.dailycamera.com/cu-news/ci_24693476/cu-boulder-police-arrest-student-connection-sex-offense#IDComment766412446 http://www.dailycamera.com/news/boulder/ci_24706508/boulders-naropa-suspends-professor-over-alleged-threats-silent#IDComment766409948 Maybe he is a victim of institutional racism at Naropa, as he says he is, but he cites no examples. Refusing to teach the last few weeks of a semester only justifies suspension. Any prof would be suspended for that. Being silent and singing old Pete Seeger songs is not helpful in explaining what is wrong. That only works when it's self-evident. A press release would have been more helpful. He's got attention, but he has no message to deliver.

That's basically what he did. Thu, 12 Dec 2013 04:59:53 +0000 http://www.dailycamera.com/news/boulder/ci_24703571/felony-case-against-cu-boulder-student-accused-killing#IDComment766339874 http://www.dailycamera.com/news/boulder/ci_24703571/felony-case-against-cu-boulder-student-accused-killing#IDComment766218672 I think he committed a felony. Not everybody can beat an animal to a bloody pulp, and those who can are more dangerous to society. Animal cruelty often leads to violence against humans. There's something wrong with this guy, and now we are aware of it.

Intent plays a part here. This was intentional brutality.

And from my own block I have observed that some people don't care unless it costs them money. (For example, repeatedly flouting the dogs-at-large ordinance.) For them, fines will always be needed in addition to education.
