College professor sues rude students

An angry former professor at New Hampshire's Dartmouth College announced plans to sue her pupils because they allegedly were rude to her during a lesson. Priya Venkatesan said she is horrified with the way her class behaved and plans to sue her ex-students for harassment and discrimination, the New York Post reported. I was facing intolerance of ideas and intolerance of freedom of expression. It was almost an incessant barrage of hostility, nastiness and anti-intellectualism, she said of the Feb. 1 incident. Venkatesan sent an e-mail Saturday informing her former students she plans to take them to court in response to their alleged behavior. The feeling that I am getting from the outside world is that Dartmouth is considered a bigoted place, so this may not be news and I may be successful in this lawsuit, the 1990 Dartmouth grad said in the e-mail. Venkatesan resigned from Dartmouth in March and has begun instructing at Pasadena City College in California, the report said. (UPI)
