The Phantom Professor:

[1]Inside Higher Ed has the scoop about an adjunct professor at SMU
who may have been fired (or rather, "informed her services were no
longer needed") because of her warts-and-all blog, [2]The Phantom
Professor. An excerpt:
Rita Kirk, the department chairwoman, says that she received
complaints about the blog from students and parents, and that she
consulted with university lawyers about what to do about it. Kirk
describes herself as a strong First Amendment supporter, but she
says she worries that the blog violated students� privacy rights
and upset some students. "People need to remember that words can
hurt," Kirk says.
Hat tip: [3]David Greenberg.
