Why would you enjoy giving someone a pap smear? |

Re: Email Sent by Lecturer to Muslim Student Asking for Extension

Re: Email Sent by Lecturer to Muslim Student Asking for Extension
probably because paps are all i've been doing for the last 50 hours or so, making it the first medical procedure to come to mind when i sought an example for a medical procedure that i am trained to do

Hmm I'm not sure how much she would be awarded in damages. But she should have a pretty good case |

Yeh I spent an entire month non-stop with a medic, he described some pretty sick stuff he's done, worse than paps, mostly with cadavers. |

Re: Email Sent by Lecturer to Muslim Student Asking for Extension
Uh, she obviously had proof if she had a death certificate. What else did he want?
Culturally driven excuses that prey on Western guilt? 
He doesn't deserve to teach.
And the thing to do would be to lodge a complaint with the university, which is what she did. They fired him. The end. Who cares how the outside media picked it up? Though I do think a lawsuit would be frivolous. Like, he's fired already, so what else is there?

Well, he went beyond "jerky" with his statements about her political and social views. That I imagine, is what they found unacceptable. Being a jerk though? Nah, he wouldn't have been fired for that. Happens all the time.
