I do not see problems with hiring her in 1998 as "Staff Attorney, Domestic Violence Clinic, SIU School of Law".<BR/><BR/>But there is nothing in her vita that justifiers the relabeling of her position in 2000 as "Assistant Clinical Professor, Lawyering Skills". She is now a Associate Clinical Professor". Clinical means she is not on a tenure track. Her focus is on service, but one expects peer reviewed publications based on service issues. I saw no hint of scholarly work of any kind. She lists op-ed pieces and articles in newsletters as publications! It really is outragous. Some of us worked very hard to earn the title of professor. <BR/><BR/>Here is her vita:<BR/>http://www.law.siu.edu/fac_staff/simon/vita.pdf<BR/><BR/>Here is one of her weightier pieces:<BR/>http://www.picturingjustice.com/austinpowers_simon.htm<BR/><BR/>I am not saying she was promoted because of her fahter or that this should be a factor in whether or not she'd make a good major. But, shame on SIUC to demeaning the professorate.<BR/><BR/>-Pissed off ProfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22571319.post-58705375088583976652007-04-06T15:02:00.000-05:002007-04-06T15:02:00.000-05:00gadfly, my friend, why don't you shed your mislead...gadfly, my friend, why don't you shed your misleading "gadfly" moniker and go with "Simonite_451" because you have never had anything positive to say about Cole -- and now trot out this old article about Ryan that in no way impinges on Cole's ethics.

Oh yeah, you hate Cole; I forgot.Parentheticushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04397250058745076490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22571319.post-32228967834369663262007-04-06T14:56:00.000-05:002007-04-06T14:56:00.000-05:00I'm not suggesting anything of the sort, Brad is b...I'm not suggesting anything of the sort, Brad is being well and legally helped by the Republicans. I am suggesting that Sheila has been given help, not because of what she did, but because she won the genetic lottery. Take the silver spoon out of her mouth and things don't look so good.<BR/><BR/>Is it legal to have Daddy give you a state job? I don't know. I don't know if he did give her a job, but it sure looks that way to me.<BR/><BR/>I think this should just about bring to an end any reasonable talk of Brad's special advantages, Sheila has been given as much or more. Both the job that appears to have been created especially for her at SIU and continued help and PR events from her father's buddies in Washington.<BR/><BR/>For example, how much does it cost to get Dick Durban to perform at my kid's birthday party? Is the cost of getting a US senator to shill for you $10k, $25k, $50k? If the Republicans give Brad $25k in cash, is that even then? Or is Brad still behind?<BR/><BR/>How about Durban pushing a Paul Simon traveling student scholarship right now? Isn't that just to get Paul's name back in the paper and influence this election? How much does that cost?<BR/><BR/>In summary, I find that both Brad and Sheila are accepting and giving gifts from their party. Brad tells the truth about it, Sheila hides it and calls herself ethical. What BS. <BR/><BR/>The secret is out now, still like that ethics platform?PeterGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13362919400474969329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22571319.post-3382618896917881812007-04-06T11:37:00.000-05:002007-04-06T11:37:00.000-05:00Are you trying to suggest that Brad isn't getting ...Are you trying to suggest that Brad isn't getting help from the Republican party?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22571319.post-82258483654989435352007-04-06T11:36:00.000-05:002007-04-06T11:36:00.000-05:00Lest we forget,http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/...Lest we forget,<BR/><BR/>http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-0602080098feb08,0,6829203.storyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22571319.post-26391252557423941552007-04-06T10:01:00.000-05:002007-04-06T10:01:00.000-05:00You are on the right track.Speaking of JALC, guess...You are on the right track.<BR/>Speaking of JALC, guess whose husband was fitted nicely into a job at that fine institution?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
