Dr. Lori Handrahan, a professor in the School of International Service was unjustly released as an American University professor on January 11, 2013. As students who take pride in the progressiveness of our school, we are furious that she was released without council, and that this release creates a precedent at the school for gender discrimination. After supporting the wellbeing of students who had received electronic threats through the AU email server, Handrahan brought up the concern to Public Safety and to our current Dean James Goldgeier. Within a week, Goldgeier made the contemptuous decision to remove her from office because the problem was too high profile for him to address in-house. Lori is an above board professor and represents the best of what the university has to offer; she did exactly what she should have in this situation. What's more, it concerns us that the real threat of cyberstalking that has made students fear for their safety, has not been addressed.
Please, please sign this petition to reinstate Lori Handrahan as a full time professor in the School of International Service at American University. Do something out of step from some of representatives on the hill, and listen to your conscience. SIGN THIS PETITION. DO WHAT'S RIGHT!!
Even if you aren't a student, your added support is crucial.
Sincerely,
Concerned students for Lori Handrahan's reinstatement.
