First Ward Churchill, now this.
Looks to me that they don’t “screen” job applicants very well.
Defending yourself against false sexual assault charges is now retaliation?
” Barnett is accused of compiling a 38-page report painting the victim as “sexually promiscuous” and alleging she falsified the report of the assault,”
A professor, huh?
What a real brainiac.
Sounds like he had a personal clash with her previously.
Perhaps she spurned him?
If this is all based on a false rape accusation, I hope the University of Colorado is sued into oblivion.
CU paid Denver attorney 150,000 clams to investigate and it looks like his opinion convinced their insurer they could lose, so they paid. That’s the insurer’s decision.
It sounds like the professor liked the doctoral student, as his mentor, but you would think a fledgling PhD should be able defend himself, right? So why did the professor stick his oar into what wasn’t his business? Because he thought the guy was railroaded?
It sounds like there were some defamation allegations as well. At the end of the day they could have fought but they didn’t. Now the professor can seek his remedies for wrongful termination.
I guess if you work in the Philosophy Department, there’s not much else to...
I am surprised to see so many Freepers attack the professor.
The article points out that the 38-page report done by the professor was about how the Office of Discrimination and Harassment’s investigation mischaracterized or excluded information from witnesses. This is a legitimate beef for any professor – particularly a male professor in a den of liberal and feminist lunacy!
The report included sworn statements by nearly all of the third-party witnesses cited in the Office of Discrimination and Harassment investigation.
It was the sworn statements of others that characterized the female student in a way that she did not want on record. These are witness statements — not the professor’s statements. And, that is not retaliation.
This was a report on how the administration manipulated everything to get a guilty verdict. Which, with such serious allegations, should have been in a criminal court with due process, not held via administrative hearings by liberal administrators. The police investigated and found no crime.
The liberal war is designed to divide us all by sex, race, religion and ideology. This is why Obama and his ilk are threatening every university to increase this sort of administrative extrajudicial prosecution and lower standards of evidence and protections for the falsely accused.
Lastly, Philosophy is not a liberal science, as logic is a philosophy — which is certainly not embraced by liberals.
I have no idea if this professor is liberal or not. But, he did object to a kangaroo proceeding that lynched a man who was never even charged with a crime and cost the university money that could have otherwise been spent on better things.
My hat is off to anyone who challenges such dangerous university practices.
Not unsurprising, he will now be fired for doing so.
Liberals win all the way across the board.
