In the video, Dawson tells him he should leave, instead of waiting. Bruce claims he just stopped by to fill out a form and ask his regular advisor a couple of questions. But, he said his regular advisor was busy. Bruce said that's when he started talking with Dawson. In the video, you hear Dawson tell Bruce he is harassing just by waiting, and that she will call campus security. Bruce has since filed a complaint with the school. Bruce said no student who pays tuition should be talked to like that.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/story/29069336/ksu-investigating-recorded-conversation-with-student[/url] When did sitting and waiting to talk to someone become harassment? If that's the case, why have chairs to sit in and wait?
Good. The way she treated him was bullshit.
Its a result of the terrible advising system, not just that adviser's fault. That whole office needs a different system; not just one employee put on leave as a scapegoat.
That's incredibly unprofessional. If he didn't have that cam on, he could be in a lot of shit.
Jesus, just take a look at the comments section. Some lady is blindly defending Dawson because Bruce should have apparently known better than to turn up unannounced.
I go to KSU, never really had any problems. Advising system for computer science ain't that bad, or so it feels.
"Harassment" shouldn't be thrown around as easily as it is and I'm glad somebody is finally catching shit for it
I just dont understand what she was trying to accomplish with this. How does she benefit from accusing him of harassment that she KNEW wasn't harassment(otherwise she would have actually called security)? So stupid. From the sounds of the way he explains it, she's always been a problem in some similar way. Maybe she just loved to make up harassment in her head then vent to tumblr about the oppressive patriarchy she has to deal with every day with these sexist pig students.
