An outspoken University of Wisconsin-Madison professor is under fire for finding future Badgers on Twitter and allegedly harassing them — as well as for comparing Scott Walker to Adolf Hitler.
Sara Goldrick-Rab is a professor of educational policy studies and sociology with a national profile in both her field of research and the ongoing debate over faculty tenure in Wisconsin public universities. ~snip~
Goldrick-Rab acknowledges that she searched Twitter for individuals who identified themselves as future Badgers. The prolific Twitter-user says she wanted to inform them of changes to faculty tenure and shared governance that were about to become part of state law — changes she says would hurt the quality of their education, but that the university wasn't telling them about.
While some of the future Badgers thanked her for passing along links to newspaper articles about the GOP-led changes to governing practices on UW campuses, a group who had just graduated from a Kenosha high school took exception. And one of them contacted the College Republicans of UW-Madison.
The College Republicans issued a statement on Facebook Wednesday — more than a month after the Twitter contact with Goldrick-Rab occurred — asking the university to address the tenured professor's "harassment of these future Badgers on Twitter who were doing nothing but showing their excitement for attending the university."
~snip~
It all started with a photo that a future Badger posted May 31 on Twitter of himself and his friends in their high school graduation caps and gowns, smiling and forming the Wisconsin "W" with their hands.

Six days later, Goldrick-Rab reached out to all six students on Twitter: "I hate to bring bad news but," her tweet began. She then linked to an opinion piece ~snip~: "Threats to shared governance and tenure put mission of UW at risk."

Tenure is for idiots that can’t deal with reality.
Guilty.
In other words she doesn't know much useful value to society.
Geesh....how did I KNOW she would be a fugly lesbian.
She resembles a badger, even better, a whistle-pig.
So true.
My kids are college age. I see how proud local parents are that their child made it into UWMadison and how are excited the students are to be going there. It just makes me sad because it is such a place of indoctrination! Few come out with the values they were sent with.
A “Hope Lab” is where you crap in one hand, and hope in the other, to see which one wins.
Dear numbnuts professor. You didn’t build that University you work at. It can get along just fine without you. And don’t you forget it!
This leftist blob deserves to be fired. She can’t be like most of the other “professors”. She attempts to intimidate and harass students even before they arrive on campus. Arrogant leftist losers like her need to be unemployed immediately, I’d say. She looks like a scorned lesbo.
