#1 Paid leave. She'll be back in a couple of weeks. No harm, no foul.

She should be fired and prosecuted on criminal charges, but that will never happen. Which is why she felt comfortable doing this, and why it will keep happening.

#4 And if the good associate professor is not tenured -- highly likely at a community college, I should think -- letting her go is as easy as sending a registered letter on the official school letterhead.

#11 Relax.
No students are awake during a math class at a community college.

#12 No students are awake during a math class at a community college.

Raider, nowadays a goodly proportion of community college students are getting the first two years on the cheap before finishing their bachelors at the associated four year school. A good many of the trailing daughters' friends have made that choice, including one of my fosterlings, who is working toward a practical degree as an ultrasound technician.

#13 Here's more:

"...I asked her why was it necessary for me to sign this and she said, 'Because I passed it out," the student said.

#15 Had a nuclear engineering prof back in the early 90s who announced in class one day that, "Anyone stupid enough to vote for a Democrat will fail my course!" A young lady loudly blurted out her displeasure then declined to identify herself at which point the prof referred to his seating chart & the daily sign-in sheets and stated, "When I call your name you will stand up, if you do not you will fail my course," and proceeded to call roll down the young lady's row. Eventually she was the only student in the row who remained seated, the prof then addressed her by name saying, "... you have failed my course. Since it is early in the semester I suggest you leave now and drop the course immediately. If you do not you will receive a failing grade." Doubt he was an affirmative action hire, he claimed to have been recruited from Austria by the US government.

#16 The college professor is probably negotiating a book deal right now so she can tour about how she was railroaded by the mean right wingers.
