[quote=Anonymous]I believe that there is a lot more tolerance of racism and bigotry in college classrooms than would ever be allowed to slide in a public secondary school. In general, there's a lot of professor misbehavior. One of my professors who was a newspaper journalist wrote about me in an article without my permission after I came to him in confidence to explain I'd missed 3 classes because of being morning sick while having an unplanned pregnancy. He didn't use my name, but he described my physical appearance and made references to the dates of the absences. Since reading that newspaper daily was a curse requirement, many guys in the class made disgusting comments to me the next day. When I confronted the professor, he first denied it was me and then said it didn't matter since I'd be dropping out of the major if not college soon! Of course, I went to the dean. The dean told me that I was over-reacting. This was before sexual harrassment was really discussed so I felt I had no recourse but to sit through class for the rest of the semester with guys who drew sperm on my desk before I arrived or asked if my boobs had milk yet.[/quote]
