They key to this is money. That is it in a nutshell as far as the U thinks.
Now the decent faculty, they have a different key and that is to give them courage to speak out. A guy from the law school already has. And our support gives them cover to speak out.
But for the University, money is it. I am thinking, as is my daughter, of asking for our money back for that course. And they call me twice a year for money and I give like clockwork. I am waiting for the next call when I will refuse until Ward is fired and the entire ethnic studies department is gvien a look see by an impartial group. Maybe Accuracy in Academia.
Why wait? Send a request now in writing 1) for a refund for the fradulent and abusive class and 2) instruct them not to ask you for money because it has dried up!. 3) post the letters here on FR to help others who do not have your level of skill and adroitness and to show others the specific courage involved instead of us all preaching to the choir. The time for ACTION is now. One must strike while the iron is hot...not wait with excuses until it has cooled down.
This admonishment is not directed toward you but to those of us who are not quite so accustomed to dealing with academic intimidation. You could start a REAL FREEP !!! Gee sounds like fun!
Now is the time to strike, while the iron is hot.
Some might call it "piling on" - I would call it taking advantage of the strategic moment, and, besides, this low-life excuse for a professor DESERVES to be piled on, preferably by elephants and ten ton weights.
