One of the men at Tulane Law School whom the Dean and University President seem to love love love and hand-pick for all sorts of important, powerful positions is known to have a history of being abusive to three of the women who are closest to him in his personal life.  According to the empirical research regarding priming, this means that this male law faculty member is likely to treat women in the workplace – the law school – like crap also.  If you disrespect women at home, you are likely to do it at work.

How does this impact female Tulane Law School students and female faculty members?  Well, at least one woman said this male faculty member makes her feel uncomfortable.  It is alleged that alcohol was smelled on his breath while at the Law School during the work day.  The Dean did not care.  Provost Mike Bernstein also did not care because he just loves loves loves this misogynistic male Tulane Law School faculty member.

What does it tell you that the Tulane Law School Dean Dave Meyer and other senior Tulane Administrators (Provost Mike Bernstein and President Scott Cowen and Board Chair Darryl Berger) LOVE this male law school professor who is known for his bad behavior toward women?  What does that tell you?

It tells me that Meyer, Bernstein, and Cowen like to reward men who are known to treat women poorly.  Otherwise, Meyer, Bernstein, and Cowen would be favoring and appointing FEMALE faculty members for the things that they are instead giving to the misogynistic male Tulane Law School professor.

Sexism:  Let’s not just embrace it!  Let’s REWARD and PROMOTE people who display it! (I wonder if Tulane could fit these words on a bumper sticker or college t-shirt.)
