Worth nothing that J. Michael Bailey was eventually fired from his post at Northwestern for organising a spectacularly inappropriate sexual demonstration, put on in front of his students [1]. Bailey has, it must be said, worked extraordinarily hard to earn his negative reputation. Even beyond the sheer inappropriateness of this episode, I can’t say I disagree with Conway’s assessment of him.

> Worth nothing that J. Michael Bailey was eventually fired from his post at Northwestern He wasn’t fired, he is still there: https://psychology.northwestern.edu/people/faculty/core/profiles/michael-bailey.html https://psychology.northwestern.edu/people/faculty/core/prof... > [1] https://www.huffpost.com/entry/northwestern-university-p_n_830423 https://www.huffpost.com/entry/northwestern-university-p_n_8... You are misreading that article from 2011 (13 years ago). It doesn’t say he was fired, it says he was “under fire” - which is journalistese for “being publicly criticised”. The article also mentions the university administration was investigating the incident - I don’t know what the outcome of that investigation was, but obviously it didn’t result in him being fired, because he’s still there.
