I urge you to read Ms. Shaw's entire resignation letter to understand what she has endured.
She is a very brave woman for speaking out, for losing her income (with two children to feed), and especially for turning down a settlement that would have muzzled her for good. The college obviously is scared to death that her story will get out and get traction. It speaks volumes that Smith College was willing to pay her to shut her up.
If you give a mouse a cookie....
The Left has found a lever of power to pull and as long as it keeps working they will. Continue to double down. They do not propose any solutions, just punishment.
My brother (Flaming Lib) attended University of Massachusetts, While getting his degree he realized that there was a class that was available at Smith College that he could take, he and a classmate elected to go there instead of waiting until the University of Massachusetts offered it. He was treated like crap, so was the female that went with him because she was not a “thespian”. Their grades reflected their sexuality! I loved that it happened to him!
Brave woman.

Smith College is one of the “Seven Sister Colleges” (Barnard College, Bryn Mawr College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College, Radcliffe College, Vassar College and Wellesley College) that are/were all female only and quite prestigious. Now Radcliffe is Coed and is integrated with Harvard while Barnard is not quite as integrated with Columbia University. Vassar went Coed decades ago and Bryn Mawr is in a consortium with University of Pennsylvania (and others). Thus only Mount Holyoke, Smith and Wellesley Colleges remain all female (for how long???).
Smith College’s motto is ironic for this story; “Ἐν τῇ ἀρετῇ τὴν γνῶσιν” (In Virtue [One Gains] Knowledge). So what does one gain for Virtue Signaling?
We are headed towards genocide.
Prior to Obama becoming President, race relations weren’t perfect, but were mostly harmonious. But that wasn’t in any way good for the racial grievance industry, which kept so many “leaders” like Jackson and Sharpton comfortable. And so, ever since, the racial grievance business has been booming like never before.
Of course, this is the same with every problem that becomes an industry in America. Once that happens, the problem can never be solved, because there are way too many people making big money keeping it going.
Very well-worded letter of resignation.
Good for her in not taking a settlement in exchange for silence. It appears to me that she sought out some very good legal advice. That Smith offered a settlement can easily be construed as an admission of liability.
My guess is that Smith will settle for a much bigger number than originally offered. She has made her point with her resignation, so right now, it is all about the money.
Question now is how many other staff members will follow her example. Could be quite a few unless Smith College changes their policies, which is not likely.
Ah, there are plenty of so called ‘white’ conservatives playing this racist game.. The elitist snobs at so called conservative think tanks, spew total BS that mimics liberalism. WSJ, and the NR creeps, spew junk as the new norm.
I personally pray they all end up begging for dollars at any street corner .. they are not even capable to clean car windows at traffic lights.
Divorced mother of two with a lifelong voting habit for extreme liberals.
I think we may have found the problem.

Smith, along with the rest of the left, is practicing anti-white racism; all these fancy terms and theories are just excuses to justify discrimination and abuse. It feeds the egos of the race baiting industry and the leftists, and won’t lift a single black woman out of poverty.
It is interesting that the Democrat Party and thug academia has gone from antiBlack to 100% antiWhite in no time flat.
Very well said! That took courage the kind that Trump called for. We need many more like her.. if we don’t stab this beast in the heart and kill it, it will not only destroy this nation but warp us in way we can hardly image.
VERY brave. Thank you so much for posting. Gonna share this article everywhere.
The leftist scum monsters - including creatures such as bari weiss, created this.
We may be all swallowed by this stalinst-maoist nightmare.
The only consolation will be seeing leftists eating each other and sending each other to Judgement & Hell.
Very well written letter, sums up what is wrong with U.S. colleges, universities, and government institutions and agencies, especially now that the Democrats control all branches of government.
