Now I know the student in question was subject to the ethical obligations of his future profession, but this seems a little on the Stalinist side to me (then again, I do hate Marquette - Go UWM!)

Well, I'm a professor & also still a student at times & personally I think that was wrong of the University. Misconduct might be if he used names but he did not. Heck, he could go out & be at a restaurant & be talking about his professor or students this way. No different. Even professional dentist, oh did I mention my dad is one, will be out & talk about other problematic dentists. How is this differen than commenting about the President's misconduct on your blog? I think the school just doing like the bad PR & the students are pissed & too bad! Not everyone is going to like you or like your behavior. It is a big world out there! Don't expect everyone to like you. They think harrasing? I don't see any sexual harrasment here. How is this stalking? I've never heard of a case where blogging is considered this. I would think critical thinking should be incourage & a processes. Perhaps the students & school should just respond in their point of view & have a dialogue. Lisen & think & work things out.
ReplyDeleteYikes! I have to agree that it didn't require administrative intrusion. Not that it was very bright either. I wonder what his grades are?

Who's running that joint anyway? They make the news way too often for stupidity on the part of their decision makers. First they killed the warriors, then they went "gold", now this?? Ridiculous....GO UWM! lol...
ReplyDeleteFrom the first spit ball sent screaming past a teacher's ear, schools have had rights to rule over their students' behavior that would put dictatorships to shame. This is nothing new. It's just happening more publickly because they've found a new medium, the blog. Score another one for a school. Students, zero. Mrs. L
