As reported by The College Fix yesterday, Marquette’s John McAdams, a political science professor, was suspended by the university for alleged “harassment.”
The “harassment” (allegedly) came from the words on McAdams’ own blog, Marquette Warrior, where he took issue with a Marquette instructor who told a student it would be “homophobic” to say he supports traditional marriage in class.
In a blog post yesterday, McAdams claims Marquette violated its own policies regarding suspensions, and quoted the relevant sections:
Section 307.03
In all cases of nonrenewal, suspension, or termination for absolute or discretionary cause, except Section 307.02(1) and (3), death, and permanent, total disability, the appropriate appointing authority of the University shall notify the faculty member in writing of the University’s action. The notice shall include:
(1) The statute allegedly violated; the date of the alleged violation; the location of the alleged violation; a sufficiently detailed description of the facts constituting the violation including the names of the witnesses against the faculty member.
(2) The nature of the University’s contemplated action, with a specification of the date or dates upon which such action is to become effective with respect to faculty status, duties, salary, and benefit entitlements, respectively.
(3) Such notice shall be personally delivered and service shall operate from date of such delivery; if in the exercise of reasonable diligence it is not possible to personally serve the faculty member, it may be served by certified mail addressed to the faculty member’s last known place of residence, and service shall operate from date of mailing.
Section 1 is highlighted (in the original) because McAdams notes that all of it was violated by the university.
The professor also notes that “Since this was about a blog post, there were plenty of witnesses, but none of them were named.”
