I heard it all when I worked in Student Development back in the day. I now handle personal injury lawsuits for an insurance company which is about the same.

...not to mention that it got so bad that he could not bear to even attend class regularly.

How perfectly LIBERAL...Baldy has managed to turn Supe into the VICTIM in this fiasco.

Just because I know people and have ways of finding out a ton of stuff, I found out that this is what I'm being written up for. Apparently they're going to play the harassment card on me. Funny.

Just when you think this thread has jumped the shark...this happens. I would love to be a fly on the wall in the Monday meeting. You have a great argument that they never even ASKED YOU TO STOP in person.

(of course you know...that means your peeps will be demanding PICTURES in class on Friday)

Please post an email address to appropriate overzelous dean. This is exactly the kind of crap that makes alumni like me hesitant to give $ to anything but athletics. I was hopeful this kind of stuff had ended with the dress code but apparently not.

TIA.

...and they wonder why they are having trouble raising $ for the Towns/Alumni bldg....look no further.

When I was a freshman, the dorm next to ours on the hill and us were in a war in which we shot paintballs back and forth with a slingshot. No damage was ever done but we got caught. We had to have a meeting with the dean of men. He proceeded to tell us how this was going to cost the school a ton of money to clean up because they had to buy special chemicals to clean up the paint and the cleainging crew had to get on latters which is a saftey hazard and so on. This dean really tried to make it seem like we had just bankrupted the school. The only problem with him jumping to those conclusions is that we used water based paintballs which washed off that night when it rained. By the time we had our meeting, there was no evidence whatsoever that anything had even happened. Liberty deans have the tendency to overreact at small things so I wouldn't be suprised if they do act like this is the end of the world.

are you allowed to have someone with you in there? it'd probably be good to have a witness so it isn't your word against the dean's

Pull the picture and we will repost it. When you come into this meeting, tell the dean although you felt like you had done nothing wrong in posting the pictures, you took them down anyways. At least it takes you off the hook.

I agree that Liberty deans sometimes tend to make a big deal out out of little things. I really wonder if they addressed the fact that those two have "love" sessions in front of people on a daily basis? Maybe they should ask the professor of the class what he has seen over the past few months that would have caused a thread like this??


The guy that is in this couple is a WIMP!! At least be a MAN and confront the situation. I deal with these problems with my elementary kids, and my first response when a kid is telling on someone else it, "Did you tell him to stop?" My second question is, "Did you do anything to him that caused this problem?"

I think the alumni, professors, etc. of FlameFans.com need to rally around SJ. Flood the Dean's office and Chancellor's office with emails and phone calls.

It would be ridiculous if he's disciplined over this.

What happened was they told an RA and the RA turned in a disciplinary report or something like that. If they are actually trying to get me for harassment, then it'll be 18 reps and whatever fine comes with that. However, I have no doubt in my mind that with the new appeals court it will be overturned and all of that. When it comes to putting it in front of other students, they'll think it was harmless like the rest of us.

This is beyond comprehension. These two never once confronted you directly about this, not to mention they were "making love" in a very PUBLIC situation (in class), and even had the professor call THEM out in class. I really do not see how there is merit to the harrassment charge here. Id talk to your prof and have him write a letter or email to the dean that you are meeting on Monday SJ.

No use getting Dr. Spohn involved in it. I'm a big boy. I don't have to run to the teacher.

once again logic eludes us....


Its like a story i heard the other day..

A trio of bandits were stealing from a mall. One person was acutally stealing from the stores and then would relay the loot to the other two thieves so they can put the loot in the car. well the one dude got catch and the other two forgot where they parked the car. The two boneheads asked a cop to help find their cars, but the cop reckonized the loot and arrested them.

How can you go to authority and point the finger when you are in the wrong? geez.

Well based on the pictures that's the best way I could describe what those two kids were doing in there. I mean did they really have to broadcast to the entire class, "hey, we're a couple...if you don't like it...just deal or we're sicking the dean's office on you!"

I'm happy if they feel legitimately harassed. Lesson learned. My guess is they don't though. Dude's a total skirt for going to class right in front of you and pretending like this isn't happening.

Well teh part that burns me up is the fact that these two went the route they did. If they were genuine mature adults, they SHOULD have come to SJ and it should have said something like this:

"Hey man, I really don't appreciate you taking pictures of my girlfriend and I and posting them on the internet like you have been doing. Its making her feel very uncomfortable to have so many people come up to us and tell us that they have seen what we do in class and have people say derisive things about us. You think you could take the pictures down that yovue taken already and not take anymore?"

To which of course SJ would offer his commentary on the fact that they should not be doing those sorts of things in a public learning environment, and where things go from there I don't know. The simple fact is that these two felt like they not only are above reproach and feel like they have a right to partake in blatant public displays of affection, but also that when it comes out that those displays have been documented, that they do not have to confront the person responsible directly.
