Kerri Dunn ... Kerry Done.... coincidence? We don't think so.

... before deciding whether to retain Dunn, whose contract expires later this year.

Bingo. Victimhood enhances prospects for tenure, or at least a contract extension.

What kind of hate crime? Every article that covers this fails to mention what kind of hate crime she made up.

Stupid white girl tricks. This moron is not AA. She probably just wanted some new tires and a paint job?

Truth is inimical to "Liberals" and everything they stand for. They hide from it like vampires hiding from the sunlight.

Claremont President Pamela Gann has said the college would conduct its own investigation before deciding whether to retain Dunn, whose contract expires later this year.

"Before deciding"? WTFO? If she is found guilty of the crime, there is no decision to make.

FIRE HER!

[pollwatcher]

wonder what racist remarks were used on her?

what racist remarks were used on her?

Trailer trash?

[Reactionary]

Another liberal who was just trying to "raise consciousness" concerning the plight of The Other, better known as the proletariat or the class enemies of liberal democracy.

The university will, no doubt, richly reward such behaviour. Performance art in the name of class struggle always gets the nod at Stalinist U.

Anyone want to take bets on CMC retaining Dunn next year?

She should suffer some penalty for trying to defame the student body of CMC.

GUO. Stop FTAA.

Anyone want to take bets on CMC retaining Dunn next year?

I'll take that bet. Gann was seriously embarrassed in this episode (she basically shutdown the university for four days because of it), and it's likely she has more professional embarrassment to come.

Even a far left university president like Gann cannot afford to protect Dunn now. Dunn will go, and she'll have a helluva hard time getting another teaching position too. She has an unimpressive CV, is in her late 30s and Claremont is her first (or second) teaching job. And now she's branded as a con-artist.
