A Columbia University professor—who is an ardent supporter of women’s rights and advocate against domestic violence—was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor assault after beating up her boyfriend on Valentine’s Day.

According to her faculty bio on Columbia’s website, Joann Baney, 54, is the faculty director of the FDNY Officers Management Institute and also serves as faculty on the NYPD’s Police Management Institute. Both schools are part of Columbia’s Executive Education program under the business school.

The NY Daily News, which originally broke the story, reported that Baney trains New York City’s police officers and firefighters peacekeeping skills and “how to control heated situations.”

Guilty.

You've come a long way, baby.

She can bring home the bacon. Fry it up in a pan. Then use the pan to beat the crap out of her boyfriend.

Well sport figures get suspended for this!

[Slings and Arrows]

Good thing that’s not domestic violence. She’s a “outspoken advocate” against that.

....... Baney trains New York City’s police officers and firefighters peacekeeping skills and “how to control heated situations.”

Oh, the irony! Folks, you just can't make this stuff up!

[Slings and Arrows]

No, they get suspended for getting caught.

As somebody said, the difference between fiction and nonfiction is that fiction has to be believable.

He was her man, but he done her wrong!

"I hit him because he cheated on me."

Right.

Right.

I noticed that. Must be embarrassing for her. Although she says he cheated on her, they weren’t married, were they? Doubly embarrassing if she’s one of those feminist types who doesn’t believe in marriage. But in any case, hell still hath no fury...

[Slings and Arrows]

It’s hard to shame the shameless.

[Tax-chick]

They seemed like such a well-adjusted couple, too ...

[Slings and Arrows]

Who could possibly have seen this coming?

[Tax-chick]

According to the article, he has a record with “issues.”

[Slings and Arrows]

I can see why they’re together - the rocks in her head fit the holes in his.

[Tax-chick]

Good phrase.

He probably thought he was safe, what with her being an advocate against domestic violence and all.

Does anyone come out and admit they’re an advocate FOR domestic violence?

Love it. The day before this happened if you would have told her deep down she was no more civilized or progressive than your typical trailer park trash she would have laughed in your face.
