So classic: a deft switch of victimhood and the fascist resumes her moral high ground. Not even a nice try.
Recording lectures has become a commonplace, not for political reasons but for study reasons. Not all college codes of conduct have moved with the times, nor have all professors. I have a very good friend, now retired, a Classics professor, who was recorded asking, "Why are you all pointing your cell phones at me?" There was...giggling...
Sound good. Just what any sensible person would expect, and just what I'd be doing if I were in college these days.
There are some real ulterior motives involved with any administration or professor who wants to ban recording devices, and the motives don't have anything to do with what will most help the students learn
She is super creepy. This link is pretty gross. Be forewarned. http://theexiles.org/female-genitorture-how-to-make-a-woman-scream-january-2013/
can you imagine how long a teacher would have lasted who did nothing but criticize obama?

Liberal College Professors always remind me this;

I did read something about this incident where they said the school doesn’t want the professor recorded because they don’t want people to pass it on to other students who are too lazy to attend the class.
The statute requiring permission from all parties before a recording can be made applies only to statements made in private. A teacher’s statements to a college class is not private in the sense that say, a conversation between a husband and wife alone at home is usually considered private and protected against such recording.
I’m sure you’re right. In any event, I’ve never seen anything official that this student’s actions were a violation of any kind of rule or law.
That dog don’t hunt; the profs are supposed to take a roll in each class, participation is supposed to be part of the grade.
lets face it...most professors are blowhards and are crappy teachers and don’t want the public to know just what they are getting for their money....
When I was teaching in Turkey, I used Powerpoint slides. The custom was that the professor's notes (or in my case the slides) would be taken to a print shop by one of the students. Other students could they buy copies of the notes or slides. This was because textbooks were so expensive. Most were imported. It worked out well for me and my students.
The Congressman -- who had long been in office and was not aging well -- then realized that he had been recorded and was in political peril because of his comments. So he tried to grab the student's recorder, and to make him give it up, began to choke him. As the kid squirmed and resisted, a teacher intervened and the issue was referred to the principal. Under threat, the student held firm and, on the advice of his father, insisted on a ruling by the local prosecutor.
Initially, a staff lawyer in the prosecutor's office made noises to the effect that the kid was in big trouble and should give the audio tape to the Congressman before an official inquiry was launched. Fortunately, the kid's parents lawyered up and the local paper -- a major daily -- learned of the incident. The elected prosecutor himself swiftly ruled that the kid had done nothing wrong because the recording had been made at a public event.
The Congressman and the school authorities of course had behaved badly and swiftly retreated into self protective versions and explanations of the episode. If something like it happened today, the kid would be on Fox News the next day and the Congressman and the school would be sweating out bad publicity and the risk of a lawsuit.
FAKE COMMENTS
Software robots edit & purge comments.
Comments are meaningless trash, unless the website can prove untampered comments by legal certification under penalty of jail. Is that in the fine print?
Wondering what this putz of a perfesser would be doing if he wasn’t teaching college. Would be fun to find out.
Again we see the root of the problem: The Institution is more concerned about its employees than its students....Same with all Teachers Unions, to hell with the students, it’s about US....
