BREAKING: Mary Spellman Resigns as Dean of Students (Claremont McKenna College, Claremont, CA)
The Forum ^ | November 12, 2015 | Staff

Posted on 11/12/2015 1:30:58 PM PST by abb

At 12:02 p.m. on Thursday, November 12, Mary Spellman resigned as Dean of Students following calls for her resignation after students of color articulated concerns about the Dean of Students office being unsupportive towards students of marginalized identities, and two students yesterday began hunger strikes calling for her resignation. Additional coverage coming later — find Spellman’s email to the CMC community below.

Dear CMC Community:

Since 2010 I have been privileged to serve as Dean of Students at Claremont McKenna College. Today I am submitting my letter of resignation, effective immediately. I do so with sadness beyond words, because these nearly six years have been the most rewarding and fulfilling of my life, but also with the conviction that it is the right thing to do for the school and the students I care about so deeply.

I have been grateful for the support of the Administration and the heartening encouragement I have received from so many of my students, former students and colleagues. Among the calls, texts and emails I have received is a student who wrote:

“You’ve inspired me in my time at CMC. Please stay strong and realize students like me need you to stay here…I will always be honored to consider you a mentor, a role model, and above all, friend.”

And a faculty member who wrote:

“I also recognize how much you have worked to make our community more inclusive… I know I join many fellow faculty members and students in expressing my full support and confidence in you as Dean of Students here at CMC.”

To all who have been so supportive, please know how sorry I am if my decision disappoints you. I believe it is the best way to gain closure of a controversy that has divided the student body and disrupted the mission of this fine institution. Most important, I hope this will help enable a truly thoughtful, civil and productive discussion about the very real issues of diversity and inclusion facing Claremont McKenna, higher education and other institutions across our society.

Sincerely,

Mary

How she should have said it!
+++++++
To The Students of Claremont-McKenna:

Let me state this in the language of your generation:

I gots me a huge retirement and I don’t have to put up with your political destruction of my personal life.
Hey Nigga’s...f**k you!
I’m moving to the the farm and...MOLON LABE, my bitches!

WHERE ARE ALL THE ADULTS IN THIS MESS!

Someone needs to stand up to these punks and tell them how the real world works!

More and more disgusting as the hours pass by.

Claremont California is essentially East Oakland. I’ll leave it as a reader exercise to connect the dots.

Our colleges and universities have descended into full blown madness.

And this "safe space", "microagression", "cannot damage my feelings" nonsense is the ultimate suppression of the Truth.

Well, a famous and brilliant Jewish comic, writer, director, actor, and film producer knew how to skewer these wilting flowers delicate psyches.

The Producers is, according to Roger Ebert, "one of the funniest films ever made." The plot is that two producers realize they can profit more from a Broadway flop than a hit due to not having to pay off their investors. They produce the worst script they can find, "Springtime for Hitler" and it backfires - the audience responds as it is satire and makes it a huge hit.

One of my best friends father was a Jewish WWII veteran, and he thought it was the best thing he had ever seen.

Let today's fragile liberals watch this short clip!

“It’s awesome until it dawns on you that only Blacks can fill those positions and soon 90% of our campuses will not only be Leftist assholes, but will also be Black revisionist control freaks implementing the radical Black agenda.”

Kind of like how our cities and the federal govt are run.

Ah, a new subcategory of victims which the politically correct and generally stupid must be concerned about.

Ok, we get it. They won’t be happy until every university’s president is black, no white profs, free tuition, abundant safe rooms filled with crayons and stuffed animals and no watermelon at the fresh bar.

And we will stay in the Admin Office until we have been rewarded straight A scores and a qualified degree from Claremont (regardless of our time in studies, year of graduation or exam scores).

We ARE the privileged!

Here's what the hubbub is all about:

See that! Those white girls are dressing up as something that might be randomly construed as being 'Hispanic.' They WERE NOT PUNISHED for this outrageous action for Halloween! School officials REFUSED to do anything about this RAMPANT RACISM!

Yes, this is the same school where a professor faked having racist things scratched into her car and indeed, was videotaped by security doing it to her own vehicle.

“WTF is a “student(s) of marginalized identities”????”

Students unable or unwilling to perform at a level comparable to those who didnt need affirmative action to be admitted.
