Claremont Professor's Past Is a New Puzzle

Kerri Dunn taught criminal justice but she was a shoplifter. While earning a PhD in psychology, she was ordered into counseling for stealing.

Dunn, 39, was a hero to many students at Claremont McKenna College, lifting her voice for the oppressed. Then she became the professor who may have betrayed them.

She railed against hate crimes. Now she is suspected of staging one.

Dunn — a Catholic converting to Judaism — prided herself on being passionate and outspoken. But court records and interviews with colleagues, students, friends and police reveal a woman of contradiction and secrets.

Keep looking at this one - I'm wagering there is some resume enhancement (i.e., fraud) yet to be discovered.

She probably got her degree by mail or by having the correct (leftist) ideology probably.

I wouldn't be suprised. So much of that goes on at universities - big name ones too. When I was a grad assistant I would correct theses/research papers/etc written by other grad students. Sentence structure errors, spelling, run-ons, ---pretty much all the basic writing errors that one can think of I had to spot. Forget about the thought processes...dismal.

Oh, let's not be too harsh...she was probably just trying to steal those items so she could give them away to the homeless, and strike a blow for the proletariat against the evvvviiiiiilllll Corporations all at the same time! And she probably staged that fake "hate" crime just to call attention to all the oppression and "glass ceilings" she's encountered as a popular (and I'm sure well-paid) professor at an elite University...so let's ease up on the little darling, and give her a break...(/Sarcasm).

On second thought, let me agree with you: she's an ubertwit supreme.

This is the same woman who after a conference on hate crimes, staged one of her own by spray painting graffiti on her own car and reporting the crime to the police.

So many students didn't understand the anti-Semitic slur found on Dunn's car that Hillel, an on-campus Jewish organization, produced a fact sheet explaining the term kike, said Rabbi Leslie Bergson, director of Hillel and the Jewish chaplain for the Claremont Colleges.

It seems I'm not the only one who "doesn't get it" when it comes to racial slurs. I recognize they're offensive, but for the life of me I don't know why.

The best thing about the article was that the anti-semitic slur "kike" was on the car -- except no one in the neighborhood knew what it meant. Doh!

Note to Miss Dunn: when faking vandalism make sure that you make it believable, and that includes checking up on the anti-semitic nature of the community. Don't try and go overboard.

Ah, looks like kerry may have found his press secretary.

[JCG]

Wait. What if she says I didn't do it? Or, worse, what if she says "King's X?" What then?

Oh, the humanity!

Pam Manske, a friend of Dunn's, chalked up the shoplifting to high jinks. "She'd been a student — sometimes students do goofy things," said the commercial real estate agent.
