This same University "Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action" office protected a professor and dean who for years asked female graduate students in oral exams which famous scholars they wanted to "shag, marry or kill." Then came another lawsuit. A mess.

Congress needs to pass legislation cracking down on discrimination by university administrators, professors and staff against women, minorities and the disabled. Compliance offices have been excusing discriminatory abuse of discretion for far too long.
We must fix this. #MN01.
Not to mention a department head who looked up a tenured professor's skirt, told other men in the office what he saw and then wrote a long and nasty letter for her promotion file. Off to court she went.....
The professor said "They [the compliance office] cannot demand anything that either interferes with a faculty member’s educational strategies or infringes upon faculty autonomy.”
Talk about clueless....

Here's yet more number crunching for "rankings" by the dean of @PeppLaw.
My advice: Treating LGBTQ students with respect goes a long way toward improving a law school's reputation "score." @PeppLaw take note...

"Pepperdine University affirms that sexual relationships are designed by God to be expressed solely within a marriage between husband and wife.”
Huh?

Sorry, @PeppLaw -- SCOTUS says marriage equality is in the Constitution, and many of us Christians say it's in our faith as well.

Don't blame @POTUS for high food prices. Do something.
Price fixing corporations, including the pork monopoly, poured millions into GOP campaigns. Now they're trying to defeat me in a primary and general election. I need your help to flip #MN01 to blue!
painterforcongress.org/issues/
The pork monopoly thinks they own this House district #MN01 and the rest of Congress. Here's a sample of how one company spent $$$$ to own the GOP and then to restrain competition from Democrats.
We're fighting back to flip this seat to blue!

Want to prevent the pork monopoly from cleaning out your wallet at the grocery store?
Then:
1) Become a vegetarian;
2) Keep Kosher; and/or
3) VOTE BLUE!!

How much $$$$ did big pork company execs accused of price fixing make in political contributions? Hormel spent massive amounts on Republicans for two decades before betting on Democrats too in 2020. Controlling both sides is what monopoly is all about.
opensecrets.org/orgs/hormel-fo…
This complaint alleges price fixing going back to 2009.
It sure looks like the biggest "supply chain" problem affecting food prices today is the uninterrupted supply of money going from big food companies to Congress.
assets-global.website-files.com/5ec18264cf8697…
Hormel's massive political contributions were almost all to the GOP until CEO Jeff Ettinger retired in 2017, after which Hormel also gave to Democrats. Now Ettinger is running for Congress, trying to win the DFL primary. Talk about controlling both sides!

In my race for Congress in #MN01 supporting @POTUS against price fixing by big meatpacking monopolies will be a big issue. The pork industry is pouring enormous amounts of money into Minnesota politics to stop us while the GOP blames Biden for high prices.
investigatemidwest.org/2022/03/02/opi…
"Smithfield Foods (owned by China's WH Group) JBS, Tyson and Hormel account for 67% of U.S. pork production."
What percent of the U.S. House of Representatives do they control with their campaign cash?
I'll be fighting to make sure they don't own #MN01.
The GOP blames "inflation" on @POTUS. If this were just inflation, the hog farmer would get paid more when the price of pork goes up in the grocery store. That's not happening. Where does all the money go? Some of it is running against me in #MN01.

It's not just consumers who get price gouged. Family famers are crushed by the monopoly power of big food companies that donate millions to politicians. Hormel's former CEO is now running against me for Congress in #MN01. Pay to play.
hpj.com/ag_news/althou… via @HighPlainsJrnl
Voters in @MN01 don't want to choose between insurrectionists and meat company monopolists. Price fixers have been living high off the hog for too long. Somebody must stand up for consumers and farmers. That's why I'm in this race, but I need your help.

After four years of Trump's DOJ not enforcing antitrust laws against oil and food companies, the GOP blames @POTUS for inflation. An ExxonMobil CEO close to Putin was Secretary of State. Now the former Hormel Foods CEO is running for Congress. What a rip off for the rest of us.

Giant food company CEOs think they own Congress. It’s time to show them otherwise.
It’s also time for DOJ to enforce the antitrust laws. Price fixers belong in the slammer. salon.com/2022/02/17/gia…
So, @mngop blames @POTUS for inflation while being in the back pocket of giant food company CEOs who are fixing prices. DOJ needs to start enforcing the criminal provisions of the Sherman Antitrust Act. If they put a few executives in handcuffs, some prices will settle down.
This letter from @ewarren to DOJ's Antitrust Division exposes price fixing in the poultry industry. Price fixing in the pork industry is also being investigated and litigated. This is what meat company CEOs and the GOP say is just "inflation."
We call BS
