Subject: Violation of Hunter-L rulesProf. Morris’s Hunter-L posting today (see below) appears to be in violation of the recently rewritten Hunter-L rules. See rules below (underline added.)
This includes his comments about a faculty member of the department. In addition, his statement below that there “is a big scandal gathering” in the Department of Film & Media Studies has no basis in facts whatsoever. Similarly his recurring statement for many months in the signature section of his Hunter-L posts, removed only today, that the Department of Film & Media Studies is in a “State of Emergency” also has no basis in facts.
Even if they were true (which is preposterous) they are clearly “matters of private concern to departments of the college” and have no place on Hunter-L.

___Hunter-L Rules
General Principles2. Negatively, the guidelines for Hunter-L condemn posting of matters of private concern to departments of the college
1. While Hunter-L is not a deliberative body, Robert’s Rules of Order (Section 43) provides
instructive criteria for the proper use of Hunter-L. To paraphrase: When engaging in debate or
posting a critical message, posters should speak directly to an issue, policy, or measure relevant
to the Hunter community or higher education more generally. In order to protect and promote
spirited and informative debate among members of the college, one should not arraign the
motives of others, criticize persons, or malign individuals. These prohibited behaviors unduly
constrain the use of Hunter-L, often generating hostility and discouraging individuals from
participating.2. Affirmatively, Hunter-L encourages posting of matters of potential relevance to the Hunter
community, broadly conceived. Negatively, the guidelines for Hunter-L condemn posting of
matters of private concern to departments of the college; forbid direct endorsements of, or
solicitations for, private groups and public groups not affiliated with the college, and prohibit
personal attacks.Note: Attachments or direct links to material that primarily elaborates such unacceptable
messages are also prohibited in posts on Hunter-L.

Colleague Gold’s comments above [picture published in the WORD] were disingenuous regarding Prez Raab. For the truth, read “The Children’s Learning Center Debacle” at http://hunterword.com/articles/1341
