You would think that #MSU might finally clean up its act. Or that Acting President John Engler might clean house of the individuals it KNOWS have engaged in sexual harassment. Or that the abusers might sense that #TimesUp, and stop, not because they possess a shred of human decency--but because their jobs are at risk.

But NO. Now it has come out that Dr. Joy Lisi Rankin, a professor with a joint appointment in Lyman Briggs College and James Madison College was sexually harassed ongoingly by the Chair of the Faculty Senate. She complained... She Persisted...

But as in my experience at MSU, complaints went nowhere, and the abuse was covered-up. I applaud Dr. Rankin's bravery for telling her story, and I encourage you to voice your support for her. Please share her story. Please share my story. You can read more about Dr. Rankin's experience here: https://onthebanksmsu.com/professor-and-faculty-senate-chair-rob-laduca-accused-of-sexually-harassing-fellow-professor 

Let's ensure that the appropriate MSU defendants hear us loud-and-clear.

Thank you,

Martin
