Lisa D. Chávez

A tenured associate professor

At the University of New Mexico's English department

[November 2010]

She must be bag over the head ugly or her photos would be all over the place with this story.

[Gondring]

So she not only tried to get out of it herself, she tried to smear others left and right, according to the article. If true, I hope she gets sued to pieces for defamation, etc.

“she is bisexual and Hispanic”

That qualifies her for special protection.

In a recent letter to the faculty of the English Department, UNM President David Schmidley wrote:

“The university is, first and foremost, a place where students, faculty and administrators alike constantly engage in learning. It’s now time for all of us to learn anew the lessons of repentance, forgiveness and reconciliation.”

The UNM President has brought in an outside consulting firm in an attempt to resolve the situation, but such resolution has not occurred.  Some faculty have refused to engage in any form of mediation.  In fact, some of the faculty are threatening to leave.

It’s bad enough that this sicko is a Tenured Professor, but add to that the fact that she is being upheld by the rest of the whacko faculty and you will see why spending tens of thousands of dollars to get your kids educated is money down the toilet.

What a crazy story! But the truth is that no matter how bad a professor is, university communities everywhere close ranks to protect that person. Be sure to read the complete article here:

This tenured crap really has to change if our sons and daughters will ever have a chance for an honest education. Actually, it is the whole union system that is so destroying the education system, tenure is just a small part of it.

Just another of the so many things that have gone wrong in America that need correction before we can ever start growing again...
