The community of Columbia College Chicago is calling for the dismissal of professor Sam Weller. Back in December of 2020 it was brought to the colleges attention that Sam Weller had manipulated, abused, and sexually assaulted a coworker at the college by the name of Cara Dehnert. Dehnert’s statement is posted here https://medium.com/@caradehnert/this-was-not-supposed-to-happen-to-me-another-metoo-story-ba4ac14c4d2c . In 2020 she went to Columbia College Chicago’s human resources department about what happened to her and when asked what she wanted to happen she responded with “I want for this never to happen again to anyone else”. From there Columbia College Chicago didn’t do anything to Dehnert’s knowledge and to anyone else at the colleges knowledge. Sam Weller is still a professor at Columbia college Chicago and has been still teaching in the two years since Dehnert went to the school about this. Columbia has let him teach young minds while knowing he manipulated, abused, and sexually assaulted another professor. This is why we are calling for his termination.
