I thought Prof. Saliba was a nice guy. He liked to talk about "veal" a lot, which I found odd. Is this article valid journalism? It sounds like they are using out of context quotes to put together a one-sided story.
I get asked about this stuff all the time in my comunity. Anyone have a definition for impermissable academic intimidation? Because I have gone to Law School for 2 and half years, I can only talk about things if there is a definition involved. Preferably in a statute.
When I went on my campus tour they told me that if you find the definition for impermissable academic intimidation hidden in the statute of Alma Mater on the Steps then you get to marry a Barnard girl of your choosing.
