Even The Wolf likely can't clean up Harvey Weinstein's pending troubles

I would assume there are other women who’re pondering making claims (legitimate or not). Letting the world know you’ll go scorched earth might be an attempt to mitigate some of those threats.

 

This might get interesting very quickly. Other Weinstein assistants are requesting to be released from their NDA's in order to air out what happened.

Oh, this is rich. "The Hunting Ground" was a documentary about college sexual assault, produced by the Weinstein Company.

Probably much more money in the retelling of the history than what they got for NDA silence.

 

Terry Richardson is caught in the Weinstein wake. The photog is banned from working with Vogue and several other leading fashion mags.
Long overdue IMO.

Remember when Naomi Wolf called out Harold Bloom? And was scolded for doing so by Camille Paglia?

Say what you want about Hollywood or Washington or the fashion business, the average American university was often a real cesspit for this kind of coerced, transactional sex between faculty and students.

The last 25 years of zero-tolerance policies have probably helped curb some/much of it. Hope so.

 

My university expressly forbids relationships of any sort between faculty and student, whether said student is "under" a given faculty member or not.

Really, my university treats me like a slave. [/crossthread]

 

And yet we both know you are not one, nor is it implied in your statement that you consider yourself to be one.

You're characterizing the behavior of the university.

Hmm. [crossthread]

 

Seems like the only way to do it.

Does that include TAs?

 

They're students, aren't they?

 

Yep.

So everyone is covered, up one side and down the other.

Has it worked where you are?
