I’ve been refreshing this periodically hoping to see some discussion.
I have lots of mixed feelings over this. For one, it’s interesting how all of these are recent events.
It’s also interesting to me that out of all the times the police were called to their residence no action was taken. Which brings up more questions about his wife’s actions...
(I say this, in that it seems like /good/ police work hopefully )
Finally, while I think he went far far far astray by forging the letter, I can’t quite seem to think that Strunks involvement as an outsider, and his actions, compounded to create a situation where the punishment might not have fit the crime.
As in; are his actions worth his career being ended in academia, not to mention the fallout to his graduate students. I don’t have a good answer to this, and I say all of this more to organize and try to temper a balance between emotional and thought.
- blotter_paper 8y agoSucks for the grad students, but that's life. Lie to an employer and they might fire you. Especially in academia, where trust is paramount; what else would this man forge to further his career? Forgiveness is nice, but not mandatory.
- cafard 8y agoI have a hard time seeing this as worth prosecuting as a felony. No, he shouldn't have done it. Yes, he should have been fired. But a felony?
