Politically Correct Zoology

Re:It is university....

[Trepidity]

He wasn't even lecturing about it to students, if his protest letter is accurate. He was sharing it with a colleague, which I assume means another professor, a research scientist, or some other variety of non-student researcher, in the context of "an ongoing debate with the colleague in question about the relevance of evolutionary biology to human behaviour, and in particular about the dubiousness of many claims for human uniqueness". Seems rather relevant, and strange to object to.

I read the documents: Not guilty

[Flambergius]

I read the complaint, replies and rest of the documents. Made me miss the first period of Montreal @ Philadelphia.

The lack of evidence is staggering and mind-boggling. Who knows what really has been going on, but what I do know that the investigators or the president don't know anything that would be warrant a two-year monitoring and counseling period.

Let me repeat: not guilty.
