SMH: Harvard University Professor Quits Following Sexual Harassment Claims From 18 Women

  Harvard University campus in Boston Massachusetts USA Harvard Professor Leaves Amid 18 Sexual Harassment Allegations A  Harvard University Political Science professor by the name of Jorge I. Domínguez has left his job following 18 different women coming forward to claim they had been sexually harassed by him. In a report published by the  Chronicle of Higher Education ,   several colleagues of Domínguez came forward in order to tell stories of unwanted advances and other inappropriate behavior. The alleged incidents date decades back all the way to the ’80s. Terry Karl, a junior professor during her time at Harvard, explained that he would often touch her inappropriately. After filing a complaint against Domínguez, who was slated to be the next department chair, Harvard determined he was responsible for misconduct and as a result, he “was removed from administrative responsibilities for three years and told that any future misconduct could trigger his dismissal.” After Karl left the university, several other women–including both faculty and students–filed sexual harassment complaints against Dominguez to the university, many of which were dismissed or held up indefinitely. Other women who spoke to the  Chronicle  said they stayed silent on their experiences out of fear of retaliation, which included some leaving the university entirely. Karl insists that she did everything she could to sound the alarm while she was at Harvard and emphasizes, “the silence was not mine. It was Harvard’s.” Very soon after the  Chronicle  report was published approximately a week ago, Harvard put Domínguez on administrative leave pending review. But then, in an email to colleagues, the disgraced professor announced that he would be leaving Harvard once and for all. He wrote, “I am retiring from my job at Harvard at the end of this semester. It has been a privilege to serve the university.” Jorge I. Domínguez refused to comment directly on Karl’s claims, according to the  Chronicle .

Not All Heroes Wear Capes: Compton Mayor Aja Brown To Run Against Stacey Dash For California Congress

Image via Astrid Stawiarz/Robin L Marshall/Getty Compton Mayor Aja Brown To Run Against Stacey Dash For Congress Last week we reported that bum azz Stacey Dash will be running for California Congress in the 44th district. However, she will not run unopposed, in fact, the clueless soup cookie sympathizer will have to defeat one of the most popular politicians in the state. According to TMZ , Compton’s mayor Aja Brown has decided to throw her name in the hat in order to keep Stacey from destroying some of the most beloved areas in SoCal like Compton, Watts, North Long Beach and San Pedro. Brown is the polar opposite of Dash in every way imaginable. She’s a Black woman, she embraces hip-hop culture (gave Kendrick Lamar key to the city) and she has real ties to the community as her mother was raised in Compton. It is reported that Brown had no interest in Congress until Stacey announced her plan to run. Subsequently, a flood of phone calls came into her office urging her to oppose Dame Dash’s cousin. A private source says that Aja believes that Stacey is “running for notoriety”. Stacey is in big trouble. Continue reading

Really??? Chicago PD Tickets Black Neighborhoods Overwhelmingly More When It Snows

Stock Image by Getty Snow Tickets In South Chicago Hoods Are Staggering In Comparison To Wealthier Areas Data says the Chicago Police are issuing disproportionate amounts of snow tickets in the Black neighborhood of Englewood where a fist full of complaints to 311 are usual made about snowy sidewalks. In Northern, wealthier neighborhoods in city, where hundreds more complaints are being made, they are seeing fewer tickets. How is that even so?? According to WBEZ Chicago PD is abusing something called the “2 inch rule” in neighborhoods like Englewood. This rule says that if it snows over 2 inches, you can’t stay parked on a main street. But, according to a  Chicago Police Department directive , cops aren’t supposed to issue “2-inch rule” tickets unless city officials declare weather severe enough for “phase two” of the official snow plan to kick in. These cops are just giving tickets without official word of SEVERE weather and poor folks are eating it. Other findings show that these poorer ‘hoods get more tikets for failure to shovel sidewalks. The CPD have yet to comment of the unequivocal amounts of snow tickets being issued around the city.

Kim Cattrall Sends VERY Clear Message to Sarah Jessica Parker

Kim Cattrall was known on Sex and the City for portraying a character who always spoke her mind. And it’s now evident that that the role of Samantha Jones was a bit of type-casting, considering the simple and direct share Cattrall just hurled in the direction of a former co-star. In a very straightforward Instagram message shared on Saturday morning, for ex-HBO star addressed Sarah Jessica Parker, the former lead on the series that made both women very rich and very famous. “My Mom asked me today “When will that @sarahjessicaparker, that hypocrite, leave you alone?” opened Cattrall on social media. She then set her sights specifically on Parker and wrote: “Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now. Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven’t already): ” You are not my family. You are not my friend. “So I’m writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your ‘nice girl’ persona.” The bold up above is our own because thought these words required emphasis. There had long been rumored tension between Cattrall and Parker, dating back to when the actress co-starred on Sex and the City the TV show. They put aside their differences for many seasons, however, and then also through a pair of movies. But everything blew up publicly last fall after Parker told Extra that a script had been penned for Sex and the City 3 and that everyone was on board to film… … except for Cattrall. She referred to this hold out as “disappointing.” Cattrall then took exception to Parker taking her beef public, considering Kim says she was never, ever open to shooting another movie. She held no bitter feeling. She even encouraged producers to find another actress for Samantha. She had simply moved on — and here was Parker, taking her to task for simply making a personal and professional decision. “At this very moment it’s quite extraordinary to get any kind of negative press about something that I’ve been saying for almost a year of ‘no’ that I’m demanding or a diva,” Cattrall told Piers Morgan in an interview last October, adding of Parker in particular: “And this is really where I take to task the people from Sex and the City and specifically Sarah Jessica Parker, in that I think she could have been nicer.” So it was obvious at that time that the stars weren’t very close. But then Cattrall’s brother went missing and was eventually found dead . In response to the tragedy, Parker wrote the following on Instagram: Dearest Kim, my love and condolences to you and yours and Godspeed to your beloved brother. Xx . This appears to be the basis for Cattrall’s latest message. She feels as though Parker wasn’t being sincere, pretending as if she and Cattrall were good friends when, in reality, they are anything but. Wrote Cattrall shortly after she learned of her brother’s death: “It is with great sadness that myself and my family announce the unexpected passing of our son and brother, Chris Cattrall. “At this time we ask for privacy but we want to thank you all on social media for your outpouring of love and support in this trying time.” Did Parker mean well with her Instagram reply to this confirmation? Or was she exploiting the sad situation for PR sake, to make it look like she’s a caring individual when, according to Cattrall, there’s no relationship of any kind about which Parker should care. It’s clear on which side of this debate Cattrall falls. And it’s also now VERY clear that there will no Sex and the City 3, not with Cattrall as Jones at least.
