More issues at UNC: “Chapel Hill Failed to Protect Housekeeper From
Harassment, Judge Rules”
“An administrative judge in North
Carolina ruled last week that the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
had failed to protect one of its housekeepers from sexual harassment. The
employee, Maria Isabel Prudencio-Arias, had filed a whistle-blower claim
alleging that the university retaliated against her for accusing her supervisor
of harassment. The judge ruled that she had established only part of her
whistle-blower claim, but found that the university had “acted arbitrarily and
capriciously in applying its policy … in investigating petitioner’s claims of
harassment, sexual harassment, discrimination, and retaliation, and as such,
violated petitioner’s due-process rights.” A state panel will review the ruling
and make a final decision in the case”.
What is going on in North Carolina right now? I hope they
are seriously looking at the issues!
This is more of a K12
issue, but it is something to think about when dealing with parents:
“When Parents Become Unemployed”
“A
new study by the Urban Institute and First Focus shows that when parents lose
their jobs, parenting
styles can become corrosive. Parents may become irritable, depressed, and
switch from a supportive parenting style to a punitive one, the study suggests.
About 6.2 million children live in families with unemployed parents. What can
schools do to support families with unemployed parents? What signs can teachers
and other school staff members look for to determine if these types of changes
have occurred in a child’s home? And how might they mitigate any damage from
parenting styles that change for the worse?”
Anyway, someone give me some good news please! Something
happy and positive, do not be shy!
