And yet - this administration PAID $8.5 million to the biggest microaggressor (and macroaggressor)


LOUIS FREEH

Imagine you were the victim of, not a micro-aggression, but a terrible betrayal of public trust by people you should have been able to trust. Imagine they wasted your money on a pack of lies that was used to waste way more money. Imagine you complained about it, and they told you to "move on." Imagine they told you that "those documents say what they say and no amount of hand-wringing is going to change that."

Under the new rules, should you report that person to campus authorities?

Yep.

Mentioned that earlier:

"1984" was supposed to be a warning......not an instruction manual

Just so as to leave no ambiguity as to whether it qualifies as a "micro-aggression" or not:


"Hey Barron.....you ignorant, bloviating bag of horseshit....
You soul-less whore.....stuffed with equal parts pomposity and hypocrisy....
You worthless, blubbering, imperious failed-abortion of a human being.....
Go F yourself!"


That is all.

I think you might have just made "The Forum" with that one.... "You Just Made the List".

I don't know why this is getting a lot of attention all of a sudden. It's nothing new. They've actually been recording complaints of this nature since 2002. and you can check the reports on the website: http://equity.psu.edu/reportbias These reports are emailed around to all staff and I usually skim them when they come out.. On average, I'm guessing that there are about 25 incidents reported each year across all campuses, mostly UPark.

I've included the letter from the President that was sent out in early December below. While I don't have previous emails in hand, it seems pretty similar to the ones that were sent out in the past.

I haven't seen any of the new posters yet, but this isn't the first time they've publicized the reporting website. They've always distributed posters and taken out ads in the Collegian. We usually have one hanging somewhere in my building.

Perhaps I've just become assimilated to the academic environment that I fail to see why this is a big deal now? Perhaps PSU has stepped up the publicity of the program this year? Perhaps it is a slow news day? Perhaps the newfound and free publicity from the media will cause a bump in the number of reported incidents?

Dear Penn State Community,

As the fall semester comes to a close, we in this country find ourselves in the midst of an ongoing national conversation focused on important issues of race, ethnicity, religion, intolerance, hate and discrimination. These are critical issues that touch all of our lives, as Penn Staters and as Americans or as visitors to the U.S. I wish to take a few moments now to underscore Penn State’s steadfast commitment to maintaining an open and welcoming environment for students, faculty and staff from all walks of life, and to remind you of available resources and support.

Last year, more than 14,600 of you shared thoughts about the values you feel are at the core of our community. Your feedback both during the survey and in subsequent town hall meetings forms the foundation of the Penn State Values. Though no society is free of discrimination, hate speech or intimidation, you have spoken clearly about the high value you place on community, respect, integrity and responsibility, as well as excellence and discovery. At the center of all of these is mutual respect for one another.

Our diversity as a University community is a key strength. It is at the core of what makes Penn State great. We are here to learn from and about one another; our diversity is critical to the education of our students, broadening their exposure to people from very different perspectives, economic and racial backgrounds, and international viewpoints. Indeed, it is our obligation as a great university to build bridges of understanding and to help the world to recognize and celebrate the intrinsic value of every person.

There is no place for hate, overt or subtle, at Penn State – such actions do not represent our mutually held values. Any violence that causes physical or emotional harm to any individual harms our entire community, too. It takes the commitment of all Penn Staters to maintain an open and caring environment.

It is in that spirit that I remind you of the following resources:

• Students, faculty, staff and other members of the community should report crime to police by calling 911 or by using the online crime reporting form at http://www.police.psu.edu/psu-police/report-crime.cfm.
• To anonymously report an act of hate or intolerance, any member of the community can visit Penn State’s Report Bias website, at http://equity.psu.edu/reportbias.
• Those who feel they are threatened also can contact Penn State’s LGBTQA Student Resource Center; the Office of Student Conduct; the Multicultural Resource Center or the Affirmative Action Office. Resources also are available through Counseling and Psychological Services for those who wish to talk.
• Finally, those who feel they've witnessed or experienced an episode of intimidation, discrimination or other ethical violation in the workplace or classroom can file an anonymous report with the Office of Ethics and Compliance hotline, either online or by phone at 800-560-1637.

No community is immune from these issues. Yet I continue to be impressed on a daily basis at the leadership shown by our students, faculty and staff who are committed to bettering society.

Sincerely,

Eric Barron
President, Penn State
