Liberty is an inherently offensive lifestyle. Living in a free society guarantees that each one of us will see our most cherished principles and beliefs questioned and in some cases mocked. That psychic discomfort is the price we pay for basic civic peace. It's worth it. It's a pragmatic principle. Defend everyone else's rights, because if you don't there is no one to defend yours. -- MaxedOutMama

I don't just want gun rights... I want individual liberty, a culture of self-reliance....I want the whole bloody thing. -- Kim du Toit

The most glaring example of the cognitive dissonance on the left is the concept that human beings are inherently good, yet at the same time cannot be trusted with any kind of weapon, unless the magic fairy dust of government authority gets sprinkled upon them.-- Moshe Ben-David

The cult of the left believes that it is engaged in a great apocalyptic battle with corporations and industrialists for the ownership of the unthinking masses. Its acolytes see themselves as the individuals who have been "liberated" to think for themselves. They make choices. You however are just a member of the unthinking masses. You are not really a person, but only respond to the agendas of your corporate overlords. If you eat too much, it's because corporations make you eat. If you kill, it's because corporations encourage you to buy guns. You are not an individual. You are a social problem. -- Sultan Knish

All politics in this country now is just dress rehearsal for civil war. -- Billy Beck

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.
