I was shocked when I
read Professor Valverde's account of academic bullying that stressed
her to the point of losing her child and her own life for several
days. I never realized women of color faced such intense pressure
from faculty and students alike, because they are expected to be
incompetent due to a unjust, biased system. As education is becoming
more of a commodity, professors (especially the less prioritized) are
losing rights and forced to work in unwelcoming settings. I felt it
was ridiculous also that her colleagues would turn on her in such a
cruel way, disregarding her ADHD disability. As a woman of color,
this situation makes me fear for myself and my career as I enter into
society.
I found this video,
“The Professors – Future of Academic Tenure,” to be relevant
and educational:
