[quote=Anonymous]And it’s not the first time this has happened.

DH is a Professor and has had nonstop issues with athletes in some of his courses.  He had a student turn in a plagiarized final paper.  It was very clearly AI created and still don’t incredibly poorly do the kid a 0.  Athletics says all kids must make 70 average to stay on team and between the 0 and the kid just not showing up to class he’s failing pretty miserably.

He kept arguing with DH about making up the grade and how he “has to pass” and will do anything to make it up.  DH said nope, beyond a Time Machine nothing can be done.

So student gets coach involved.  DH tells coach same thing, didn’t show up to class and he turned in AI paper.  He’s done grading and it is what it is.  Coach pushed a bit than gives up.  Student then emails DH ominous message “this would have been so much easier if you would have worked with me” DH forward it to Dean and reports plagiarism to board.

Then today he receives message on university email from a throwaway email account listing our home address as well as the names of two of our kids.  Finding home address is easy but not sure how he got our kids names.  No social media and DH said he doesn’t discuss his family in class.   Syntax and grammar makes DH believe 99% it’s the student.  He’s reporting and I’m not sure what much more can be done.

We have Ring camera and will be gone for a few weeks soon.  But God, this is exhausting.   He had a student a few years ago actively say he was going to kill him because he failed his class and couldn’t play football anymore.  Charges were pressed but university drug their knuckles over the entire thing.

And this happens to his female colleagues far more often.  Disgruntled students driving past their house numerous times engine roaring.  One had a direct threat of rape to her face.

All male student athletes.  The major issue is the coaches seem to push this narrative that these kids deserve a pass for bare minimum effort.

The university isn’t regarded as the highest academically but is very sports oriented and DH is just miserable.  It’s a joke.

Grown adults threatening faculty and the university is so desperate to retain the money makers they do only that they’re legally required to do.

Merry Christmas I guess.  Glad DH is looking to get out of academia. [/quote]
