She quit committees?!! Excuse me while I spray my coffee...
I went to UVA--when it was still conservative. My first-year dorm was near the engineering school. I can't figure out what happened there.
Good to see that she believes in 'innocent until proven guilty'. Well, that's one idiot prof gone form Duke! Wonder how applications and enrollment have been affected by this judicial farce? And the b-ball team has lost its first two conference games!
" what does this charlatan actually know about English Literature????"
I think she teaches "Hooked on Ebonics".
LOL! One hour per week? Man I should have become a college prof - summers off too!
I be hooked on ebonics mother f***er. LOL
I'd hit it.
With a rape charge and civil lawsuit on the pillow the next morning??????
No way!
I got one word to describe her and it ain't pretty....
What a despicable bonehead
To be fair, many professors have limited "walk-in" office hourse -- they expect students to make appointments.
Destroy the humanities and social sciences. Wipe them out.
I doubt the Duke process is to kick kids out of school every time it is alleged they do something wrong.
The "subversion" was kicking the kids out before they were found guilty.
I have to temper that, I guess. If you "knew" someone was a rapist, you would probably not want them to be allowed on campus walking around waiting for their trial. But then you wouldn't want them in the community either, so I guess if they are allowed out on bail then they should be allowed back at school.
No doubt. The average salary at Duke (Google) is ONLY $131,246 (2005). Poor girl is OBVIOUSLY worth MUCH more!! /S
Then they shouldn't have been expelled before a verdict, you foul intellectually fraudulent overpromoted race-baiting twit.
But I mean that in a nice, only slighly smug and condescending way. :-)
And although she is a Professor of “English Teaching” (what the heck is that?) her office is in the Law School.
Why is a Liberal Arts Prof in the Law School? How are her students expected to find her?
My guess is that she demanded prestigious office space and the only open office that met her standards was in the Law School building.
This kind of petty political garbage is common on campus.
Shes a professor the way Lindsay Lohan is an actress
I most certainly would NOT want to wipe out humanities and social sciences. Although now I'm older, I've gone back to school and have been taking history and lit courses for several years. I love them. But I'm fortunate to go to a small school that still teaches the subject matter instead of trying to impose an idealogy.
It's gone beyond hope. There are no standards anymore, most of the fields are totally politicized.
Besides, if it's enjoyable, it's not academics. It's entertainment.
