Widener Law School, Dean Ammons Continue to Embarrass Themselves in Professor ...
Liberty Alerts, TheFIRE.org
In late July, we provided an update to the case of Professor Lawrence Connell at Widener University School of Law in Delaware, reporting that Professor Connell had been cleared by a unanimous university hearing panel on charges of "harassment" and "discrimination." Connell’s case, which you’ll want to read up on if you’re not familiar with the basic facts, involved his use of the term "black folks" in class as well as his use of law school dean Linda L. Ammons as a character in hypothetical case scenarios in class discussion (a common law school practice).
As we reported at the time, the hearing panel largely cleared Connell of Widener’s weak charges against him and critically vindicated his free speech and academic freedom rights in the classroom. However, Widener did find him guilty of "retaliation," a charge originating out of two apparent offenses : "emailing his students to explain why Ammons had banned him from the campus," as well as the decision of his attorney, Thomas S. Neuberger, to issue a press release "explaining his efforts to identify Connell’s accusers and to protect his client’s reputation." Somehow, unbelievably, the school was fine with allowing the charge of retaliation to stick for Connell’s attempt to clear his name and to explain his disappearance from campus to his students.
But now comes news, via The Volokh Conspiracy carries the news as well, reporting that Dean Ammons recommended that Professor Connell be suspended without pay for one year, and that his ban from campus extend "at least through the graduation of one of the complaining students in 2012." Dean Ammons also recommended that Professor Connell be reinstated only once he has met the following conditions, which are so onerous that I had to quote them directly from her letter:
1. Professor Connell will acknowledge, in writing, his violation of the Discrimination and Harassment Code and will agree to comply fully with his contractual obligations and all policies of Widener University and Widener University School of Law in the future. Professor Connell’s acknowledgement shall be placed in his personnel file.
2. Professor Connell will undergo a psychological evaluation by a psychiatrist or psychologist of his choice selected from a list of four individuals provided to him by the University. The purpose of this evaluation will be to determine his fitness for his teaching position, particularly in view of his retaliatory response to the student complaints lodged against him. The psychiatrist/psychologist will be advised of the reasons why the evaluation is to be conducted. Once the psychiatrist/psychologist is selected by Professor Connell, Professor Connell will instruct that individual to contact Vice Dean Kelly directly so that he/she may be advised of the reasons for the conduct of the evaluation. Professor Connell will comply with all conditions and recommendations issued by the psychiatrist/psychologist, including, without limitation, appropriate counseling and anger management, prior to the lifting of the suspension and his return to teaching duties. Not earlier than sixty (60) days prior to the end of the term of Professor Connell’s one year suspension, his psychiatrist/psychologist must send to the Dean and Vice Dean an evaluation assessing Professor Connell’s fitness to return to duties, completion of courses or training, if applicable, and a follow-up treatment plan, if any.

This is a pragmatic and helpful reference for conceptualizing and writing treatment plans that should meet insurance, managed care, and national quality guidelines.
