Today marks the one-year anniversary of professor Keith Fink’s filing of a grievance over his ousting from UCLA—an ousting UCLA remains silent about despite multiple requests for an explanation.
Of course Raritan Valley Community College did this to us, though not as directly.
How do we know the Humanities Department and Adjunct Coordinator were partially motivated by political malice? Easy. Our syllabus was very Plato to NATO. We held an Israel is Great rally, which they tried to shut down. We once followed a Black Lives Matter procession handing out flyers showing the departed beating up the store clerk. We once wished the adjunct coordinator a Merry Christmas.* She once challenged us on our Psychotic African Dictator assignment claiming it reinforces the 'Africans can't govern stereotype' to which we replied, 'They can't.'
We were an easy target.
We fought back. We went nuclear.
And the rest is our personal history.
But I'm not bitter.
*That is a serious offense, yo.
