Speaking of chaos on campus: Loyola faculty member

Apparently this lady was offered a job at AZ State to lead the school of journalism, but some students lodged some complaints and forced ASU to rescind the offer.
Anyone know the details behind these accusations?

I have a sneaking suspicion someone is railroading this lady for other reasons.

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona State University rescinded a job offer to the newly hired dean of its prestigious journalism school following allegations of racism and mistreatment of students.
University Provost Mark Searle said in an email Sunday that Sonya Forte Duhé would not lead the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication in Phoenix, The Arizona Republic reported.
Duhé was scheduled to take over July 1 as the school’s dean and CEO of Arizona PBS.
Duhé faced accusations from nearly two dozen former students at Loyola University in New Orleans, where she was the director of the School of Communication and Design.
The students told the State Press, Arizona State’s student newspaper, that she engaged in behavior they found racist and discriminatory toward students of color and LGBTQ students.
More than two dozen of the college’s most prominent faculty signed a letter to university President Michael Crow over the weekend saying Duhé becoming dean would harm the school’s reputation and finances and affect students’ ability to succeed.
An online petition started by students calling for the university to retract Duhé’s job offer garnered nearly 4,000 signatures.
Duhé has not responded to requests for comment during the past week.
Committee members had “high confidence” they selected the right person for the job when a search committee chose Duhé, Searle said.
“I now find that the future of the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication and our public television station will be better served by not advancing with Dr. Duhé as their leader,” Searle wrote in the email to the Cronkite community.
Searle said he will announce an interim dean this week.
The Cronkite school’s previous longtime dean, Christopher Callahan, accepted a position as president of the University of the Pacific in California.

We need to cancel cancel culture

If those complaints came out of no where suddenly after she was offered the job, i would be very suspicious of the validity of them

She's probably Catholic and attended mass...that's enough for some.

I have a feeling she was accused of wrongthink and now they're trying to ruin her career. I could be wrong, though.

Higher ed is dead. Its becoming nothing but an indoctrination into liberal policy.

You had to click through multiple articles, but this one actually has details.
quote:
All 23 students who spoke to The State Press said it was well known within the School of Mass Communication and Design that Duhé made microaggressive comments that touched on race, sexual orientation and body weight toward students who went “against the grain.”
Whitney Woods, a 2015 Loyola graduate with degrees in journalism and English, who tweeted the initial critical response to Duhé, said in an interview she doesn’t think Duhé ever had the intention to recognize wrongdoing or apologize.
“It was proven by the reaction (from my peers) that I got on Twitter,” Woods said. “It was something I couldn’t let live any longer because to speak specifically to Black lives and call out good cops in the same sentence, and then to say I hope my students are doing well, that never translated to compassionate feeling.”
Woods said she was deeply involved with the school and thought she’d created a very close, open and honest relationship with Duhé. But in various classes discussing the appearance of Black women in broadcast television, Woods became more aware of Duhé’s behavior.
“Not once was she, or did I ever feel like, she was a genuine POC ally,” Woods said. “She never advocated for any students of color, not a single one. She never took any of them under her wing. She never mentored them. And to have her be a dean of students in our current climate in 2020 would be a disservice to their education.”

She's white so she had to do something racist or offensive at some point, somewhere.

All I know is that with corona lawsuits and the 2020 "racism" lawsuits all hitting the courts at the same time, the courts are gonna need to run some "Help Wanted" ads real soon like.

The whole thing started because of that? The mob culture is going to ruin a ton of lives like it already has

Loyola is a preschool for socially maladjusted weirdos. Say what you will about Tulane, but it's an actual university. This is exactly the bullshite I was expecting. Shame the Bensons had to give it a financial lifeline.

Apparently the professor had the audacity to suggest that students who were going to appear on air should groom themselves and dress appropriately. The exact discussion regarded some of the students allowing their hair to be "natural" which equated to not combing or cutting their afro's. Suggesting that they groom their hair was deemed insensitive and racist.
No word on if or how white girls reacted to the suggestion they groom their locks.

This is now considered proof. Wow.
Lester and Mr. Perfect, what are your thoughts on this?

I don't want to be another TD member to get subpoenaed, but the School of Comm and Design at Loyola was a very difficult dept to work with to say the least.
