Would you have handled this differently?
In my program in college we are on the block schedule with 3-4 hours classes all at once.
Last Tuesday, we take our first break and half the students go outside for some fresh air, cigarettes, or just to shoot the bull.
The other half of the students and the Professor "Ms. D" stayed in the class.
About half way through the break I decided to return to the class.
As I am coming down the hall, I heard one of the students say my name in a conversation. This was followed by "Ms. D" making a derogatory gay comment about me. I turned the corner and glared at her and her jaw dropped. I guess she did not expect me to be back from break that early or whatever.
You could have heard a pin drop in that class. I walked over to my table picked up my books and turned to leave the class.
I then turned back to "Ms. D" and calmly said, "I expect an apology written on the college letter head; signed by you, and witnessed by the Head of the Department, the Dean of Student Affairs, and The President of the college, upon my return next week. Do I make myself clear?"
She about choked spitting out a soft "Yes."
Yesterday morning I arrived early and "Mr. W" the Department Head was waiting with my sealed letter.
He said that all of my objective works for the courses are to be turned into him for proper grading. I will have to attend an Academic/Discipline Review for "Ms. D" in January.
