Hood College president's statement on Simone Kolysh

The relevant language on how non-renewal is processed is in the handbook, unless you have evidence that they lie here just to abrogate it in a separate document. There's a multi-stage procedure involving committee work. That didn't happen in a short number of days. Further, you best believe the AAUP is going to get involved, especially when it involves speech.
No, you don't understand how academia works. Non-tenured tt on yearly contracts in at-will states do not have grievance rights. Nothing in that handbook speaks to non-tenured non-renewals. If you think otherwise, cite the page number and I will school you on how you've misread it.
The "Faculty Code" is the more relevant document here, not the Handbook.
LOL. You're getting desperate. I'm guessing you've never been involved with this process. Our university operates under similar guidelines, and it was a small effort to not renew the contract of a non-TT woman. We knew she had no gripe by the nature of the job, and she failed to do her job, but it took a minute, as we expected her to fight. She did, and she lost, with a compensatory prize (not an extra year).
The document states that non-renewal will be decided by a committee who makes their recommendations to the president. None of that is contingent upon grievance rights. You're going to need to go back to this being a lie and abrogated by another document.
Hood's FBR will process complaints of wrongful non-renewal. It's explicitly stated that this exists for non-tenured faculty who believe they were not renewed for bad reasons. Though this isn't necessary for expecting non-renewal to take more than a week to decide on, so it would not matter if you could establish that this is a lie and abrogated by another document.
It's also a bit contrived to expect she's not taking the conciliatory year.

Cite the page number or gt fo. What happened to your friend in Canada that one time is not relevant

From the Faculty Code:
"Procedures for dismissal will not be used to restrain faculty members in their exercise of
academic freedom or of other rights accorded to citizens of the United States."
There's the policy against bullying and there's the policy of upholding academic freedom.

I don't think you understand what "academic freedom" means. Hate speech is not "academic freedom." Openly announcing intentionality to discriminate in violation of federal statute is not "academic freedom." Read the statement by the college president again posted by OP. She pretty explicitly deals with your attempted defense of Kolysh's inexcusable behavior.

Kolysh already seems to be moving on with her life, so still strangely defending her in this way seems... strange.

If 83be is right about the Code being the highest document, then I don't see a dismissal happening.
Where's it say that in the school policy?

Kolysh openly and deliberately violated several of these policies. It's almost like she was trying to get fired?
Specifically note the cyberbullying clause, which definitely applies to her social media that create an offensive environment for the students she openly seeks to exclude. She repeatedly uses hate speech against "men" as a group -- sex is a protected category under federal law. So that's definitely already proved through her own posts, even disregarding additional accusations that she also engages in classroom bullying against the same groups she seeks to exclude.

Dismissal and non-renewal are not the same thing. They do not need a reason to non-renew her. I’m kind of surprised that so many sociologists haven’t the first clue as to how few rights US employees have.

So, you think "procedures for dismissal" doesn't include non-renewal?

You're the person who said that the Faculty Code was the main document. Don't main documents often use seemingly specific terms as broad terms?

Hoods president made it a specific point to say that academic freedom is not unbounded. This was obviously in direct reference to Kolysh publicly broadcasting her h8red of conservatives, and males. It would not be surprising if she was not renewed.

You're saying "obviously."

But, it's not "obvious" if 83b3 is right and the Faculty Code is the highest document.

Oh please. No serious college should not end the contract of Kolysh. She is amazing. I go to asa meetings to listen to only her

So, you think "procedures for dismissal" doesn't include non-renewal?

They are two different things. No cause is needed for non-renewal; they just don’t offer you a new contract. Dismissal means they want you out even though you’re still on contract.

Can you get dismissed for eating a cold can of refried beans? What if they are vegetarian?

The Code gives faculty the right to a year’s notice of non-renewal after 18 months of service. So if they want her gone sooner then the dismissal policy would become relevant. If she’s not on the fall schedule then either she went through the dismissal process, or they cut a deal with her to get her gone.

The president’s message IS the punishment. It is the hand slap. It is likely that the Hood president is done with this issue (until Kolysh does something again in the future, and they will).

If a student brings a Title IX, hostile environment complaint to the school, the Hood administration might move forward to sanction and remove Kolysh.

I saw some heinous tweets on Kolysh’s Twitter feed. There was that “f@ck your parents” tweet that was mentioned in another post on SJMR, another photo with her “choking” her wife as a display of intimacy, many comments on hating white women and hating cishets, and several tweets advocating violence against men, many sexual innuendos. Oh yes, and once they said (hypothetically, I hope) that they would violate Title IX and hold a sexual harassment complaint in confidence and not report it.

Someone on SJMR asked for screen shots of Kolysh’s tweets, but we cannot post photos here. But, if you have them, PLEASE print them off and send them to the Hood administration. Twitter is not the classroom, but the tweets were public (why?) and if the climate was hostile in the classroom, the tweets could be important to a Title IX investigation.

If you are a Hood student and you have found your way here out of a search for help and support regarding a hostile climate in the classroom, please know that there are laws meant to protect you. Evidence is important (dates, things said, actions, etc.) and moving forward with your complaint can be scary. If there are several students with the same complaint you may want to move together on this. Please read up about Title IX, sexual harassment and hostile climate in the classroom. All colleges have a Title IX officer. You do not have to approach your Title IX officer at Hood College today, you may want to wait until your semester is over.

Even if the case were open and shut (it isn't)
Wait, how exactly do you think the case isn't open and shut?
Kolysh publicly declared discriminatory intentionality against an entire group of people (men) in violation of federal civil rights law, and furthermore violated the school's policy in making insulting statements against any students who disagree with her own braindead MSNBC politics. That's not even bringing up the behavior not directly related to school that she also broadcasts, such as saying black men who catcall in public should be stabbed. The case is open and shut and then some.

Complaining about men is common.

You made up the black thing.

That would be my bet as well. But if the cra/z/y lady is smart enough to see the writing on the wall she may already have moved on to Plan B on her own, thus explaining the supportive tweets.

another photo with her �choking� her wife as a display of intimacy

Realizing Kolysh is an open practitioner of racial sadomasochism, or the fact that in a deep way she's excited by ritual degradation of black women, is really eye-opening regarding her racial attitudes in general. She's on numerous occasions claimed that all black female academics agree with everything she says and presented herself as a "spokesperson" for black women.
It also explains why she treats her half-black child as a cheap woke prop to get likes from liberal white women on twitter while she nearly never acknowledges the existence of her other children.

Complaining about men is common.

Change "men" to "black people," "white people," "Asians," "Muslims," etc.
Are you saying you disagree with federal anti-discrimination law? Kolysh openly announced discriminatory intentionality against men in regards to a federally protected characteristic.

You made up the black thing.

Everyone saw her tweets. Kolysh has extreme animus against working-class black men, probably because they generally don't share her abusive and hateful political values. Or maybe she just views them as "competition" seeing as her entire erotic life seems to be centered on possessing and degrading black women to make herself feel powerful.

It's common for academics to complain about men. I'm not defending that. But making that open-and-shut betrays a significant amount of ignorance.

Nobody knows the race of the Uber driver. She never weighed in on any of the racial animus toward the catcaller. The stretching you have to do to make that racist is the same type of hysterical, interpretive, symbolic value promoted by the crazy wokes. Nobody is going to take you seriously.

It's common for academics to complain about men.

What data are you specifically basing this on?

I'm not defending that. But making that open-and-shut betrays a significant amount of ignorance.

It's probably common for white academics to privately complain that black female academics are lazy, have bad attitudes, are unintelligent, etc. But... Guess what happens if they express those same views in a TikTok video?

Nobody knows the race of the Uber driver.

We're talking about gig drivers in the Baltimore/D.C. metro area. Take a wild guess.

She never weighed in on any of the racial animus toward the catcaller.

She supportively retweeted someone who bragged about stabbing a black man who catcalled her, even refer/ring to him using the n-word. So we know that Simone specifically supports stabbing black men who catcall.

The stretching you have to do to make that racist is the same type of hysterical, interpretive, symbolic value promoted by the crazy wokes.

Actually I think Simone is one of the "crazy wokes," in that white liberals ("woke" is basically just another term for white liberal) are probably the most legitimately racist demographic in America without ever considering themselves as such. Read the posts above about how Simone interacts with her wife, while publicly (in her own bio) depicting that as a sadomasochistic dynamic. She has also publicly described it as a financial-domination relationship. So, read about "race play" as a sadomasochistic phenomenon, and inquire as to what types of white people would be sexually excited by racially degrading imagery involving black people and why. That's the persona Simone chooses to publicly display.
Simone wears her peculiar white liberal racism on her sleeve, there's no need to "stretch."

Meh, you’re blowing it out of proportion by generalizing beyond this one twisted bro/ad. I’m into all kinds of fre/aky scenarios in the bedroom, but that’s just compartmentalized fun and games. It doesn’t extend into the rest of my life, or constitute any part at all of my public identity.

This chick does seem to have trouble drawing those boundaries between playtime and reality though. Why anyone would put her private business on twitter under her own name is behind my comprehension.

she takes her p00r w0rking-class bl@ck wife to every conference to video record SK while presenting. all her presentation videos on youtube are done by her p00r wife. does she take SK to her blue collar work too? Or is it just SK taking her to work...
