Parents want to save daughter from horrible boss
She is not performing surgery or flying an airplane, so no one is harmed directly.
-- Fraud Alert
Dear Fraud Alert: First of all, you don't know if the person who notified you of this "fraud" is correct about this alleged doctor's bona fides. And rather than gossip to you about it, that person in her department should notify the university.
Students have the right to be taught by educators who don't inflate or misrepresent their credentials. (And the rest of us have the right to be spared a self-flattering non-doctor.)
Secondly, I realize that this is galling on some level, but it really doesn't have anything to do with you. If she introduces herself to you as "Dr.," you can personally challenge her.
Any educational institution seeking to employ her should check and confirm her credentials.
Dear Amy: "Woman, Shamed for Life" wrote to you about a sexual experience she had with an 18-year-old many decades ago, when she was 11.
I can't believe you were so quick to call this "rape." There are two sides to every story.
-- Disappointed
Dear Disappointed: When an 11-year-old is involved, there are NOT two sides. In addition to her description of this violent assault, she was a child.
