What's with the super lazy reporting these days? “By deciding to continue a relationship and enter into a contract with ODM without reporting it to the chair, dean, or others in authority within Fisher Executive Education, Professor Mitchell elected to pursue a matter in her role as President of CypressTree that competed directly with the interests of the Fisher College of Business,” Drake said in a letter to the Board recommending Mitchell’s termination. >> Mitchell said she does not believe she was guilty of misconduct. << (follow up on this maybe?) “I have complete confidence in this litigation. And you know, I have zero doubt about the strength of my case. I do not wish that I had done anything differently,” she said in an interview with The Lantern. I get that gender discrimination is the hot topic on college campuses but you can't just willingly ignore the whole story for the headline opp. She took a contract with a state agency right? Is that or is it not a violation? What's the actual conflict of interest in this situation? Is that also illegal in any way? Can we get a reporter to do some research and then write this article? Also ........... on the discrimination issue: "According to the suit, Mitchell faced “verbal abuse by male faculty members” from the start of her time at the university." What kind of verbal abuse? Was it sexual in nature? Was it aggressive? Was it jokes in bad taste? Was it threats? Were they made in public or private conversations? If the story is going to be about the allegations .... where are the details from the filing? Would be great if journalism made a comeback ....... but it feels like a dying discipline. Especially in our universities.
