GUYS IVE GRADUATED SO NOW I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE

My senior seminar professor (and the chair of women’s gender and sexuality) wrote an email about me, meant to send it to other professors, and send it TO ME

Ironically, the seminar was on poverty and homelessness

I loved my time at New Paltz, but watch out friends, I love you and want you all to have positive learning experiences. This is so ridiculously unprofessional and She really made it so I wasn’t comfortable staying in the class. Y’all deserve better

At first I was terrified. I thought the email was just to me

And then I realized she sent it to a whole slew of people, including people not even teaching at the school AND the chair of my major’s department and I lost it

I’ve never had any issue with my sociology professors, so for this to happen I was deeply hurt and frustrated.
Imagine being so close minded while constantly gloating about being an activist? Couldn’t be me

Also her required book on top of the packet is HER BOOK

She makes EVERY student she has buy her book. You could be taking feminist theory and she makes you buy her expensive book on poverty in San Francisco

No teacher should commodify their students

Anyway I highly recommend NOT buying the book Struggling in the Land of Plenty by Anne Rochelle

Hey friends, PLEASE stop harassing this woman. It happened a year ago. It was really messed up, I think it’s important for me to speak up about this, but there is no need to step in. Trust me, the school knows!
