@RealJournalism No one, and I mean NO ONE, helped me when my dept chair, a chemist, unilaterally banned me from teaching my discipline (physics) for two years because she didn't like the content (namely relativity) and was too stupid to understand it herself. SACS wouldn't help. AAUP wouldn't help. AAPT wouldn't help. I have little sympathy for other academics. I had to get a lawyer who advised me that because I was harassed by a woman I had no legal recourse. Welcome to the club!
