Fired Columbia Professor to Appeal Termination

2008_07_madconst.jpgMadonna Constantine, the Columbia Teachers College professor who was fired over plagiarism charges, is appealing the school's decision. She claims that she was fired because she spoke out after finding a noose hanging on her office door (Constantine also previously accused the school of conducting a witch-hunt against her). The Village Voice recently looked at the issues surrounding Constantine, Teachers College, and the world of higher-education politics.

luckily, she doesn't need a lawyer for this trial, she can just copy the transcripts from the 1st trial.

If she really thinks this is going to work she's definitely too stupid to teach at Columbia.

Isn't she the woman on the cover of The New Yorker?

You plagiarized. You got caught. You got fired. Get over it.
