D:F/M Colleague Tami Gold, AKA Hunter College PSC Chapter Chair, (seen above trying to intimidate a Colleague at a department meeting with her teenie-weenie camera in video mode, according to her comment at the time) has been relentless, by any means necessary, in her pursuit of sullying the image, exposing the faults and omissions, real or imaginary, of Hunter College President Jennifer Raab.

Gold is Professional Staff Congress President Barbara Bowen’s single-focused pit bull targeting Jennifer Raab, who, a while back, was limned in New York Times and Chronicle of Higher Education news accounts as a bully-of-sorts.

The media attention about the NFL report that backs up Jonathan Martin’s account of the workplace bullying that he experienced is significant and is a vehicle that can be used to bring attention to the efforts being made to pass the Healthy Workplace Bill S3863/A4965, the bill that addresses workplace bullying in New York State.

The NFL report will do a lot of good to show how pervasive workplace bullying is in our employment settings. If you are from New York State and are being bullied or are interested in helping pass legislation to address this issue, please contact us at info@nyhwa.org or on Facebook at facebook.com/groups/nyhwa.

You may be gone (from D:F/M, that is) but you are not forgotten by this instructor as this spring semester begins.
