Here's an idea I wanted to toss out to others who are just about fed about with radical loons who harass and terrorize the students for refusing to go along with their crank voodoo theories, be they about postmodern "French narrative theory" (whatever that is), Jungian "depth" psychology (read: non-empirical pseudoscience), and whatever other nonsense they're passing off as legitimate and scholarly discourse.Next time someone like Ms. Priya starts this stuff, go over to a consumer complaint website called RipoffReport.com and enter the prof's name in the title along with other stuff that'll come up in Google search (keywords).If you spend $40K a year on tuition and get threatened with a lawsuit because you merely expressed yourself and didn't accept the crank theory, then don't you think you got "ripped off" there?This is going to be the even scarier way to get back at these radicals. Forget Rate My Professor. Forget even the ACLU (even though at times, they do get involved at public universities where constitutional rights of students are violated).Imagine opening your email and getting a missive from Ms. Venkatesan and then immediately getting to file a RipoffReport and having her name hit the top of the Google page rankings instantaneously! Go ahead and try it. See how fast you can do some damage right back after being terrorized by the twit.If it's true, what's the prof going to do, start suing over it?THIS is the answer. Let's all start putting detailed info as to what goes on in the classroom (assuming it is outrageous and worth commenting on, of course) right at the top of the Google page rankings.Heck, if I went to Dartmouth and paid Ivy League tuition, I'd be really ticked. But of course, she's no longer there. Still, who ELSE is out there terrorizing the students? If it's a left-wing nut or a right-wing loony bird pushing something down your throat and having a hissy fit if you keep to your own views if not convinced of the professor's view on "French narrative theory," just file a RipoffReport.<a href="http://www.ripoffreport.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.ripoffreport.com</a>It's crafty and evil, yeah, because it's permanent, but isn't that the point? ; ) OK kids.

She criticizes her students for being "facists", and "stifling expression", when she is the one actually doing these things. If you are not able to discuss critcism, and explain ideas, you should not be teaching elementary school, let alone at an Ivy League College. To make matters worse, she is acting more immature then the 18 year old students in her class. Resulting to cancelling classes and threatening students with a lawsuit, because you couldn't handle criticism, is childish at best. At worst, it is indicative of deep emotional issues. Darthmouth, do yourself a favor, and take more time researching who you hire. I do not attend Darthmouth, nor do I know this woman, but this situation seems to be completely ridiculous.

They balance this hypocrisy by failing to recognize where matriarchy makes mistakes. See how easily Harvard will get rid of its president (a man) for next to nothing (espousing an unwelcome but possibly true idea). Feminism is basically saying: patriarchy=bad, matriarchy=good. and men sell out to the matriarchy every day (until one day we wake up).

The largest donation in Dartmouth history, about 20 Mbucks by William Neucom, were given to promote a research center led by Richard Granger, now under investigation (the wife has been jailed in California last month). The current administration and in particular Dean Carol Folt is a complete disaster, the school is becoming a joke nationwide. Probably they should fire all the administration and restart from scratch. Dartmouth is now the worse academic institution ever, plenty of discrimination and corruption.
