SkyPiggie 0 #101 July 20, 2010 QuoteYou've got to wonder what's going through the head of a person who tags a comment on to the end of an argument with the sole purpose of accusing the other person of needing to have the last word. Every comment gets tagged onto the end, so that means nothing. To see the trend of "getting the last word" one has to look at the pattern over time, not just the last message.

Every comment gets tagged onto the end, so that means nothing. It's also the end of the argument. It degenerated into tit for tat several posts ago, though luckily for John it appears that he has succeeded in getting the last word with the post he used to accuse Kallend of needing the last word.Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Nightingale 0 #105 July 20, 2010 QuoteQuoteQuoteWait a minute...he's a Professor of Sociology at Cal State. Everyone knows Cal State is a hotbed of liberal thinking. There are 23 separate schools in the CSU system. They can't all be hotbeds...most are politically neutral, in fact. The line should be that students not taking the professor's class are fair game. Disagree. The student should not be in a program in which the professor has any influence. Certainly in a different department. Hmm... I wouldn't have a problem with a student who is a history major seeing a history professor, as long as that professor is not the department chair or on any advisement committee for the student, and that the student does not take any of the professor's classes. The professor should not be in a position to exercise any authority over the student. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The professor should not be in a position to exercise any authority over the student. The professor is in a position to exercise influence over other professors and administrators who, in turn, can have quite a direct authority over the student's academic career. And even to the extent he cannot do that, he is in a position to make a student (especially an undergrad-age/naive student) fear that he can. That's a problem; and that's part of the reason underlying Yale's policy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The professor should not be in a position to exercise any authority over the student. Committee assignments change. PhD qualifying exams, for example, usually involve all department faculty. Faculty talk to each other. It's impossible to know now if there will be influence or not in a year's time. Even if there's no actual influence, other students may perceive that there is. I agree with Andy (actually I think he agreed with me first).... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SivaGanesha 2 #108 July 21, 2010 QuoteSo if I tell my admin assistant that she has to have sex with me, or else lose her job, I'm good, right? What you are essentially doing in this case is: (1) Firing your administrative assistant. (2) Offering to immediately re-hire her in a different role--no longer an administrative assistant but now a prostitute. If you believe the following two things: (1) Employment should be at will. (2) Prostitution should be legal. then there should be no problem with this scenario. Of course, if she does choose to leave rather than accepting new employment as a prostitute, she should be considered to have left through no fault of her own, and should be entitled to unemployment which you should be paying through higher employer unemployment taxes."It's hard to have fun at 4-way unless your whole team gets down to the ground safely to do it again!"--Northern California Skydiving League re USPA Safety Day, March 8, 2014 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
