Mr. xxxxxx,

Thank you for your interest in the ongoing issue at our community college here in Warren County, NJ.

It is indeed unfortunate that something like this has happened. I do not appreciate the way that the instructor has treated our student nor do I agree with any of his positions.

I am not a member of the board of trustees of the college. I am a member of the county governing body which is similar to that of a county commissioner.

I am monitoring the situation closely and I am attaching my press release for your information.

Regards,

John DiMaio

"Isn't Tenure great?"

Adjunct "professors" have no tenure, thankfully, so his ass can be canned at the slightest whim of the administration. "Professor" is a term not necessarily applied to holders of doctorates, as it is sometimes applied to any teacher in a college setting, some only having a Master's degree. Most colleges do the Assistant/Associate/Full professor thing, with the Associate level profs having tenure. Adjunct is not a tenure track job, as far as I am aware.

Here is a summary of evaluations of Daly's teaching by students that have had him, as reported on RateMyProfessors.com:

http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=711303

According to them, he basically sucks, as the following ratings demonstrate (out of a possible 5.0 score):

# Ratings: 8
Average Easiness: 3.0
Average Helpfulness: 1.2
Average Clarity: 1.2
Hotness Total: 0
Overall Quality: 1.2

The comments all indicate that he sucks as an English teacher, but excels at injecting his liberal vomit into a class that should have nothing whatsoever to do with politics.

English adjuncts are a dime a dozen. He will soon be extinct and working as a bagger in the local grocery store.

Additionally, Mr. Daly's message was sent as a one-to-one message, via e-mail, to one person, and not to the college community.

Why is this particularly important? Seems to me many interactions between a student and a teacher is a one-to-one message, whether it be via speech, email, letter, whatever. Why does the school misdirect their attention to the "college community." If he hurled a racist or bigoted epithet, for example, how would the one-on-one, email nature of the comment make it less significant?

Not a good school at all and even worse if they don't get rid of John Daly!
Email her and tell her to do the RIGHT thing!
