Asking for accountability for sexual assault and misconduct on campus creates what is called “hostile environment” for our administration.
Joe Wilferth,dean of arts and sciences,wrote to faculty to say, “In my experience over the last seven months,what has been written and shared in these various outlets,even on university e-mail lists, only serves to exacerbate what is arguably an already-hostile work environment.”
“So, in response to allegations of misconduct, @LinfieldUniv has shut down student comments on Instagram, censored critical posts on Facebook, and suspended campus email lists.” said @pollackpelzner
“Do these folks really think they’re going to win a social media war against Generation Z?” asked @pollackpelzner
A recent Linfield graduate, that “the more Linfield attempts to censor and silence advocates for accountability, the more damage they are causing to this great institution that has the potential to be a leader in the age of what oppressors call cancel culture” @TPetersonWood

“In an emailed statement back, Pollack-Pelzner and the other professors told Richardson they were concerned about receiving an invitation to talk so shortly after they had all spoken publicly about harassment and retaliation at Linfield.”
““Subjecting employees of a university to immediate outside investigation after they have reported harassment and retaliation — no matter how well-intentioned the investigation — is itself an act of retaliation,” the professors wrote.”
1)On April 19,2021 faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences @LinfieldUniv pass a VONC against BOT Chair Dave Baca and Miles Davis. On April 20, the entire campus received an email that @SalemNAACP will investigate Linfield for racial amicus.@pollackpelzner@injeffinitely62
2)On April 21, 6 professors receive invitations (from the College of Arts and Sciences) to have a conversation with @SalemNAACP. These six professors have all been vocal in either social media or media about #InstitutionalBetrayals faced by students & faculty at @LinfieldUniv
3)These 6 profs are disturbed by the lack of transparency& intent behind them being interviewed. They view being targeted &retaliated for speaking up to media about lack of accountability about sexual assault, anti-Semitism, harassment and the Prez and BoT chairs abuse of power.
