This is beginning to look like "pile up on John" day. -g- If I'd known that, I would have saved my reply for another time. When I tried to submit that reply, I couldn't access SI and after multiple attempts a variety of ways, I finally gave up, saved it to Word, and waited a while until I could. Now that I see mine among a zillion other posts to you, I think you may already have your hands full.

As a result of the long delay in posting my reply, I'm just about out of what I thought was plenty of free time as I have guests arriving in a couple of hours and have yet to finish vacuuming, putting sheets on the beds in the guest room, and half a dozen other "minor" tasks that need doing before I go to the airport to pick them up.

I would like to continue the conversation, however, it will have to wait, if that's fine with you.

BTW, I got the impression about being an adjunct from some comment you made a while back about them not getting pension benefits and assumed you were talking about yourself.

some versions of speech codes are, most likely, helpful.

In a public institution that are just "flat ass" illegal. No ifs, buts or ands. FIRE is 100% successful in knocking them down. The college administrations are so arrogant they don't care and keep enforcing them.

What is going to happen is a large settlement is going to be awarded and paid to a student who is caught by one and then they will back off.
