A Claremont McKenna University professor of made “unprofessional” statements but did not violate the school’s harassment policy when he called a student a “cockroach” during a March demonstration, according to a report released Friday.
The results of the investigation led by Claremont McKenna Dean of Students Mary Spellman found that CMC professor Yaron Raviv did make an inappropriate comment to a Pitzer College student outside of Collins Dining Hall, but did not impede the free speech rights of the students.
CMC President Pamela B. Gann said in a statement accepting the findings of the report that Raviv’s statements “were unprofessional and did not reflect CMC’s values.”
But the report was also critical of the student demonstration that sparked the verbal incident.

Most of the time, I try to pretend that the People’s Republic Of Claremont isn’t right there next to my city. And then I’m reminded just how close it is, and how much of it has infected parts of my city.
Least we finally chased off the DNC from the farmer’s market on D Street, but the expansion of the University of La Verne and the expansion of dorms there has made a new explosion of liberal influence.
He must have been projecting.
Yip e io kay - eh ...

Alas, the candy ass PC idiot moron douche bags control the social discourse these days.
No offense.
The problem is that a student is a captive audience for the most part and the professor/teacher has authority over them.
You can’t really chalk it up to sticks and stones when someone in authority does something like this.
Perhaps if he had said “Los Cucaracha” there would have been no problemo..........

Bull crap. These are all adults here, it's a college. It may be the way things are now, but I don't care who you are, if you don't stand up for yourself against anyone who call you a name and have to make a federal case about it, you are a bedwetter. Although it's a sad statement on the state of society today.
Did you know it was Larry Storch, working as a stand-up comedian, who came up with the classic Cary Grant imitation, “Ju - dy, Ju - dy, Ju - dy”? Apparently he was doing a show when Judy Garland entered the venue. He saw her and ad-libbed the line. It’s not something Cary Grant ever actually said.
By the way, Larry Storch is alive and 90.
Glad to know it wasn’t ‘harassment’; on the other hand, one has to suppose he wouldn’t have done so to the heavyweight on the wrestling team or the center linebacker of the football team.
So... if it’s not, technically, harassment, then... what is it?

You just have to remember to remove the little pieces of cheese from around the corners of your mouth before you go out in public.
adults or not
it’d be the same in a workplace
