ParaBellum

She's cozy with lots of people on the state BON (enough that she was able to take to some students to private disciplinary committee meetings before), and she's married to a twice Ivy League educated prof at the nearby law school with lots of lawyer cronies. She's successfully sued the school before for racial discrimination, and she pulls the race card anytime that someone questions her, calls her out, or reports her. She says that her culture is different from what we're accustomed to, and that by repeatedly reporting her, people are harassing her and being culturally intolerant. I appreciate that people ACTUALLY get discriminated against for their race or culture, and it's really frustrating to see someone falsely claim that and discredit those who have true claims. All she ever gets done is threatening to sue again.

While this particular story lends the idea that the OP is probably in for a rude awakening and needs to tolerate constructive criticism, sometimes complaints like this are warranted. I currently have an instructor who was previously removed from her (current) position due to TWO lawsuits filed by students regarding abuse. I'm at a small community college where they cannot afford to deal with any type of lawsuits, so they moved her to a different position until the storm blew over, then gave her the job back when she herself threatened to sue. She has physically assaulted students, smacking hands away from patients and cutting their hair off from behind during clinical if it touched the collar. She has assaulted patients during clinical and was also previously barred from the premises by the hospital itself because of her number of torts. She teaches at least one core nursing class every semester of my program, and we have all learned that in order to get through, we must subject ourselves to her abuse. I'm not here to complain: I do what I need to need to do and let it roll off of my back. However, some of my cohort are frequently reduced to tears, depression, or quitting the program altogether because of this prof. We've lost 5 this semester alone. It DOES happen; some of these stories are legitimate.
