It's all about her husband's alleged sexual harassment for which he was suspended. She agreed not have house parties because of that and she got caught violating the agreement. Yale's action is not unreasonable. Very mild really in today's world. |

Immigrant Chinese culture in Asian countries tends to be high acheiving, same as here. |

If you read her letter, she says they didn’t happen. Yale has not shared with her what she’s been accused of. They’re letting her swing in the wind with bad press. |

That wasn’t really the point of the book. It was more memoir, and her learning a lesson from her daughter who resisted her child rearing. I actually enjoyed the books. True to form, the media representation of the book was not an accurate reflection of its actual content. |

Culturally she’s Chinese. Her family came to the US from the Philippines, but she’s ethnically and culturally Chinese. |

I read her letter. She alluded to providing comfort in her home to students. I think some students said yes she does that and that was the reason. I'm sure they are very unhappy with her, rightly or wrongly. My point is more that they probably would have just fired her if she weren't such a star. Also she's a game player so she knows how to protect herself. |

She denies the accusations against her. This seems like yet another liberal witch hunt. Also, start a new thread about her. This has nothing to do with Kavanaugh. |

It's all part of the same "rules don't apply to me or my family or our buddies!" package |

| Does she [also] lie about the humble roots on her family? It would not surprise me if her Chinese family was actually rich. It's been a while since I read the first book or heard one of her speeches but I seem to recall her trafficking 'came from nothing' cliches. |

Yes, Yale, the bastion of liberalism that produced Brett Kavanaugh, Josh Hawley, JD Vance, Clarence Thomas is engaging in a liberal witch hunt. Yawn. Amy Chua is highly successful and also has the ego that goes along with it. That she's flouting the rules she agrees to is in no way surprising. |

I am most amused that she had her secretary sign the letter. |

Yale- Amy, don’t have students over since, you know, your husband has been drunkenly propositioning, groping, and openly having affairs with students for 20 years, creating a situation where female 1Ls feel they have to flirt with or blow him while protecting your feelings and bizarre, user’s marriage. Ok? Just keep students out of your house.
Amy- no prob Yale- whiskey tango foxtrot, Amy. You’re having students over during the pandemic?? Despite Rapey Jed’s suspension? Amy- they lie! Yale- uh here’s the statements and other corroboration Amy- is this because I’m Asian? How surprising. |
