I haven't actually heard from the dean yet.
I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop.
You know, I got a copy of the complaint.
But usually I have heard from the dean about things before.
One student who wasn't even in my class...
wasn't even in my class looked up my syllabus that's how powerful you are oh yeah oh right it's how powerful some students can be he looked up my syllabus saw on it that i referred to my personal website and said at it you can read a frequently asked questions about the course that tells you some of my norms and he says this implies that they should read the other things at his website
And he says some really awful things at his website that students will now feel that they are compelled to agree to.
And they're horrible, and I object to this.
And he complained to the dean, who then passed on the complaint to my chairman.
And so they wanted me to put a disclaimer in there that they didn't have to read my website.
Well, that's okay.
I mean, I modified the syllabus and I said, this frequently asked questions thing is at my website.
And there are a couple of other things that I assign to students there and guidelines for students in my classes.
You don't have to read the other stuff.
But on the other hand, I'd be delighted if you did.
And here's where to find them.
Very good.
I always think, don't play defense.
And let's face it, the reason that people don't like what they call slut-shaming is that they don't want to think of themselves as sluts.
Which means that at some level, even they recognize there's a problem here.
