PhD, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, 1991
BA, San Francisco State University, 1979

The resume of the devil incarnate.

[Doctor Raoul]

With a BA in 79, she's pushing 50 and would have been the braless, hairy armpit type of feminist.

[NinoFan]

Woohoo!

Synopsis of course content Modern political theory from Adam Smith to Locke to Marx...

I should have known.

She's also an envirowack based on the synopsis of her course.

[Rodney King]

Here is the synopsis of her course, this is the real reason why nobody should send their kid to Duke:

Synopsis of course content Modern political theory from Adam Smith to Locke to Marx is premised on an assumption of natural abundance and the capacity of human labor and technology to create material wealth. And economic growth has been a principle means by which modern states legitimate their power and stave off social and political conflict over inequality.

However, a gather storm of evidence suggests that we have reached earth’s “carrying capacity”. The symptoms of this include massive species extinction, global warming, soil depletion, dead ocean and stream waters, famine, and resource-driven wars. Many believe we have reached the end of modern life as we know it, and that fundamental assumptions must be re-thought and social arrangements radically re-worked to respond to the crisis before us.

This course will examine social, economic political and ethical-religious aspects of ecological crisis. We will look closely at the work of leading economists, political theorists, ecologists, and philosophers with an eye to what changes in our fundamental assumptions, our institutional arrangements, and our relations to the nonhuman world might support desirable and possible alternatives to our present crisis.

[Revolting cat!]

Was she one of the 88 or do I even hafta axe?

[auboy]

Hummmm… playing the lace card?

[NittanyLion]

I see her email address is listed on the website. Not that I'd encourage a barrage of emails to her...*grin*

K.F. Curtis, "Free Speech Under Attack", The News & Observer (October 24, 2001) .

I'm going to search for this article. I'll bet a bunch that it's whining about the patriotic atmosphere after 9/11 and how it (in the mind of this moonbat) endangered free speech.

[Dov in Houston]

Good for ya. Duke abandoned you.

[KoRn]

You go boy!!

I hope he ends up owning half the university!

[rottndog]

"Duke is being sued for breach of contract and unjust enrichment. Curtis and Duke are being sued for fraud, negligent misrepresentation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, negligence, and punitive damages. For all but one of those claims the lawsuit states that the plaintiffs were damaged in excess of $10,000."


I wish they would sue in Federal Court for civil rights violations. I would love to see Duke bankrupted by this.

[Maine Mariner]

It is about time. I know of at least one student who received a failing grade in either the late 60's or early 70's because he served in Vietnam.
I hope more conservative students sue these left wing POS's. I am not an attorney but suing for breach of contract sounds good to me. There is certainly an implied contract between a student and a faculty member and a college that one will be graded on the basis of his/her performance in the course and not by the actions of others or one's prior military service etc.

Get a look at the offending professor..

Whew! That is offensive.

[Alia]

The suit is much more specific than Duke University; but towards Professor Kim Curtis.

And I'm glad it's been filed.

[bvw]

Could this be a slam-dunk RICO suit?

[Maine Mariner]

Fifteen years after receiving a Ph.D. and only an assistant visiting professor. She should be at least a tenured associate professor if not a full professor by now.
No publications in referred journals perhaps just another pompous left wing windbag.
