Title: Male professor faces sanction for elevator joke, calls it ‘chilling example of political correctness’

 (Merrimack College/King's College London)

A male professor who made a joke in a crowded elevator at an academic conference is now facing disciplinary charges after a female professor who was there filed a formal complaint.

Richard Ned Lebow, professor of international political theory at King’s College in London, was in a jammed elevator when someone asked him what floor he needed to get off on, according to a Washington Post opinion piece.

“Ladies’ lingerie,” he joked.

He was attending the International Studies Association conference in San Francisco at the time. Simona Sharoni, professor of women’s and gender studies at Merrimack College in Massachusetts, also present in the elevator, took offense and several hours after the incident, she filed a complaint with the association, which found that Lebow violated the group’s code of conduct.

After Lebow was made aware of the complaint, he sent Sharoni an email telling her “I certainly had no desire to insult women or to make you feel uncomfortable.” He also suggested she may have “interpreted my remark out of context.”

“Like you, I am strongly opposed to the exploitation, coercion or humiliation of women,” Lebow wrote, according to the Post. “As such evils continue, it seems to me to make sense to direct our attention to real offenses, not those that are imagined or marginal. By making a complaint to ISA that I consider frivolous — and I expect, will be judged this way by the ethics committee — you may be directing time and effort away from the real offenses that trouble us both.”

The ISA committee found fault with Lebow characterizing Sharoni’s complaint as “frivolous.” It instructed him to issue an “unequivocal apology,” which he refused to do.

Lebow told colleagues this is “a horrifying and chilling example of political correctness” that “encourages others to censor their remarks for fear of retribution.”

"For decades, women and other marginalized groups in the academy had to put up with white men who decided what counts as a violation and what is ‘frivolous,’" Sharoni told The Chronicle. "As someone who has dedicated her life to confronting sexism (and other forms of discrimination and oppression) in academic spaces, I cannot and will not remain silent when misogyny is at play."

Lebow faces appropriate sanctions from ISA if he doesn’t write an apology by May 15.

ISA did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Why am I not surprised?

Insanity!

Anyone remember this line from M*A*S*H*:

Wait a minute here bobby - he broke the rules, just like the kid with an imaginary gun.

Lebow violated the group’s code of conduct.

You're such a stickler for "rules" - shouldn't Lebow be "punished" for "breaking the rules"?

It appears that your hypocrisy is showing again.

The "rule" he broke is subjective and determined by the recipient of the "unwanted conduct". How was he supposed to know she'd be offended by such an innocuous statement? No one else on that crowded elevator was.

It's all drama. 20 years ago the rainbow mafia had to operate more quietly.

Now they've got the number in place to operate more openly in the HR frameworks they've created to expedite the ostracization process... for example:

PIP seems to have become a popular tool to the new generation middle managers for the purpose of a “homogeneous team”. That is, PIP has become an acceptable and common practice to get rid of the “black horse” employee that is typically high- skilled and highly productive, thus at odds with a team of mostly mediocre members (including the manager) and hard to terminate based on pure work performance.
