UA Area
May 8, 5:18 p.m.
A University of Arizona professor was rather bizarrely unbothered when near the end of the semester (coincidentally or not), he received an extremely unpleasant email from a student who hadn’t even tried to conceal their identity, a UA Police Department report stated.
Speaking to a UA officer by phone, the professor read the email aloud:
“You’re a shitty person and nobody gives two fucks about you. … Obviously (you) suck. Fuck you for making this class so hard.”
It had been sent about two hours previous to the call.
The professor, seeming completely unruffled, told the officer “he never had any issues” with this student before, and since the note contained no threats, he “just wanted the email documented.” He had no desire to meet any police officer in person or discuss the incident further.
The reporting officer thus completed an “FYI for the Dean of Students” and closed the case. ■

As a UA professor, I find this report very disturbing. I assume that no crime was committed, so the correct response was to refer it to the Dean of Students – I sincerely hope that the Dean of Students took this issue seriously and that this student will no longer be attending UA. What this student did was NOT okay on any level. Wow.
As a matter of fact the Dean of Students didnt even require an apology from the student and deemed that the student wouldnt require any sanctions at all. Extremely distressing to all faculty and opens the door for additional faculty abuse. The Dean of Students lack of response is more disturbing than the inconsiderate student.
Snowflakes are falling all over our sanctuary city, where nobody is accountable for their actions. There will be hell to pay.
Tucson’s not a sanctuary city yet, but just you wait sock-puppet “Daniel Santiago”.
I hope and pray that you Literally shit your pants when it happens.
Because it will.
