Been Following the Saga of Psych(o) Prof. Deborah Frisch?

Someone needs to give her this shirt:

As Jeff Goldstein put it so succinctly:

When I’m done with you, Deb, you’re going to be an internet verb.

Enjoy.

One of my associates, an employee of the U of A that shall remain nameless said:

I can tell you one thing, she’s not a tenured professor. I’m pulling up that she’s “adjunct” faculty. Hell, I can be appointed adjunct. No tenured professor ever quit. And further looking at the Psychology Department lists her as “instructor”. So she’s nothing. About one step higher than a TA. Most likely a PhD not able to get any tenure track position. (BINGO! But poor Deb believes it was a case of sexual discrimination, and not that the University recognized a lunatic when they saw one. HUGE surprise.)

But you’re correct, she’s a moonbat, and a nasty one. If she used any UA resource to make her threats, and she most certainly did (acct, office PC, UA network), she’s in violation of Code of Conduct for staff. I’d have gone with complaints simultaneously to UAPD, Dept Head, and Provost.

If you don’t follow up, she will escape to land a position elsewhere. The dept head will try to blow the complaint off, saying she’s gone. You need to get a letter of apology and make enough stink so that she never gets a recommendation from UA for future position applications.

Dr. Frisch states she’s going back to Oregon.

Hopefully the only position she’ll be able to find there will involve fast-food merchandising. And even that will put her in too close proximity to young minds, as far as I’m concerned.
