racism

[rebel100]

A good professor will challenge you and might well take an extreme position in the hope of challenging their students. I don't want to doubt you purple...but I would be very cautious leveling such charges. Even by typing this info on IC you have made a potentially life changing allegation. This is a very serious charge. Your Dean doesn't graduate in a couple of years and get to move on to other things. She is engaged in a mature profession, accusations of rasicm could be career ending. That not to say nothing should be done if the allegation is true...just consider the position you are placing yourself, your school, and this Dean.

I would recommend you go talk with her about your discomfort with her statement(s). Perhaps take Mom or Dad, or at least another student that shares your concerns along and confront the issue. Dissecting such an issue on a public forum is, IMHO, a poor choice.

The proceeding is in no way meant to condone racism by anyone...but my advice to you would be to handle the matter in a mature way in a different envirement. I was once on the recieving end of a false but non the less malicious accusation. It led to the worst 3-4 months of my life and put myself and my family through an emotional wringer. I think by virtue of her office (as Dean) you owe her a chance to explain herself and to self correct her actions...

I sincerely wish you all the the very best ... and I do believe your hearts in the right place.
