Sounds like a college professor with the initials of "Maxwell Shaw" could stand a reprimand from the Honors Board himself....
Thanks for the ping. I'm quite certain that Professor Shaw and his ilk are littered across campuses and universities throughout the US. What is less prevalent are the CM55's and the Earl Capps' among the student body. Think about it, all the power rests with the faculty - it is their domain, their forum, their rules. My hat is off to each of you. You may want to e-mail Mr. Capp and refer him to FR for some crisp logic and as a source of like-minded, supportive people. I may drop an e-mail as well - to the University.
Hope you are well.....How's the business law class going??
The writing of Earl Capps, however, suggests a need for many more years at school:
"My one public email challenged Dr. Bower's publicly stated, and did not discuss you at all. I simply responded to what he been said,..."
"What he been said?"
At first I penned a response to your e-mail copied below, thinking that debate of an issue was opened. However, when I found out that you did not have the courage to use the proper e-mail, I knew you were a hit and run kind of guy. So, I have penned a different kind of response that perhaps you might want to talk about:
To: Honors Board, Communications Department, Registrar
Subj: Honors Violations
It has come to my attendion that a student in the Communications Department is using an illegal college e-mail address to send hostile and personal attacks to faculty members. By using the @cofc.edu server, he is masking his student status and pretending to be a staff or faculty member. Because he is neither, and the e-mail is invalid, a response is not possible, aand poorly reflects on his character.
This issue screams of dishonesty and such should come before the Honors Board as a violation of the Honor Code. As a major in Communications, integrity should be one of the criteria for certification in that profession and at the very minimum should be reflected in any letters of recommendation that the department might issue on his behalf in the future. I would think that the college administration should be concerned that his use of a staff or faculty identity might bring a disfavorable image on the college and such practice should be looked into, not to preclude disciplinary action for fraud and/or misrepresentation in the name of the College of Charleston.
What do you think, Earl?
So, Shaw wants to play, does he? Can I play too?
