<DIV class=plainMail>Forwarded From: <A href="http://us.mc1261.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=LINGANTH@listserv.linguistlist.org" ymailto="mailto:LINGANTH@listserv.linguistlist.org">LINGANTH@listserv.linguistlist.org</A><BR><BR><BR>Hello all. The union at my university has taken up the issue of<BR>discrimination against faculty who are foreign-born or perceived to speak<BR>English with an "accent". We have had four cases in which foreign-born<BR>faculty were denied tenure solely on the basis of poor student evaluations<BR>of teaching. I also know of at least one foreign-born person denied<BR>promotion to full professor on the basis of poor student evaluations.<BR>There is concern that these evaluations reflect student prejudice which is<BR>accepted uncritically by higher administration.<BR><BR>I am very pleased that my union is taking up this issue. The<BR>administration has agreed to pay for an outside expert to come give
a<BR>lecture to educate them and the university community about these issues.<BR>We have already suggested Bonnie Urciuoli, Rosina Lippi-Green, and Don<BR>Rubin as possible speakers, but I wanted to ask if anyone has other<BR>suggestions for scholars we could contact. If you yourself work in this<BR>area and would be willing to give a lecture or workshop on the topic,<BR>please contact me off list and send a copy of your vita:<BR><A href="http://us.mc1261.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=Cyndi.Dunn@uni.edu" ymailto="mailto:Cyndi.Dunn@uni.edu">Cyndi.Dunn@uni.edu</A><BR><BR><BR>Cyndi Dunn<BR>Associate Professor of Anthropology<BR>Dept. of Sociology, Anthropology & Criminology<BR>University of Northern Iowa<BR>Cedar Falls IA 50614-0513 U.S.A.<BR><BR>(319) 273-6251<BR><A href="http://us.mc1261.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=Cyndi.Dunn@uni.edu" ymailto="mailto:Cyndi.Dunn@uni.edu">Cyndi.Dunn@uni.edu</A><BR><BR><BR>--
