Posted on Hunter-L – Tally Ho: DC 37, PSC Hunter, Academic Bullying

Tuesday, March 29th, 2016

The following was posted on the Hunter College listserv known as Hunter-L, an once thriving general communication apparatus for student, instructors and staff but has fallen on hard times, frequently reading like a tepid supermarket flyer, no less:

Colleagues:

Regarding DC-37 and PSC Hunter, it appears that DC-37@Hunter – DC-37 is the city’s largest public employee union – has been doing a better job helping its members who have been bullied. [Definition of Bullying]

Below is a copy of the emailed I wrote in response to an email I receive from Colleague Tami Gold about the James Aronson Awards for Social Justice Journalism. T-Gold is the self-appointed director of the awards, replacing Erstwhile Colleague Peter Parisi who retired a while back. The Awards Ceremony has been moribund for years. T-Gold believes she can breathe some kind of life into it. She shares her position with an adjunct who asked that I not mention her name in any of Hunter-L postings. And, for now, I’m am following that adjunct’s wishes for now regarding this blog site.

At the February 10 #D:F/M Faculty Meeting, The elephant in the Room swelled beyond the boundaries of mortal comprehension. Yet, the malarkey at the meeting intimidated the beast who whimpered, “Dorks can run but they cannot hide.” I’m the only one who heard the whimper. I’m the only one who did not succumbed to the chimera.
