Message: [QUOTE="hjoerring, post: 3119053, member: 3630"] Yes; like learning to separate the gold from the dross? College students are not as stupid as some would think. Authors of statements that are 'racist', 'sexist', etc., do not have to be racist themselves. We are all getting ahead of things based on incomplete statements. There are two things that I find interesting: 1) one, the entire staff is being evaluated. I am assuming that it isn't a homogeneous group. 2) univ are wont to defend administrators/coaches that they want and ease out others that have become expendable. And, I may add here that all parents know that soon or later you fall out generationally with your kids, especially when it comes to language. As parents, we have other things to fall back upon and a positive relation can remain. I would not be so arrogant to think that what worked for me yesterday should work today; and, therefore no change is necessary, This is a problem I see with old colleagues who think that the same class notes from 20-years ago are still good-- including the jokes.
