she looks like one of them there neuroplasticity spokesdouches.



An academic adviser at a Georgia university has been placed on leave after a video of her accusing a student of harassment — apparently for sitting in a room waiting for an appointment — went viral.

Kevin Bruce, a student at Kennesaw State University (KSU) in Kennesaw, Ga., posted a short video on Wednesday of the adviser, who has been identified as Abbey Dawson, demanding Bruce leave the lobby of a human resources office, where he was hoping to speak with another academic adviser.

Dawson accuses Bruce of harassment and asks Bruce to leave. Bruce says he's simply waiting to speak to his adviser and that he isn't harassing anyone.

"Sitting here until somebody is available is harassing them," Dawson says, and then threatens to call campus security before walking away.

It's not clear whether there was any other discussion or confrontation before the start of the video, where Dawson approaches Bruce. However, there aren't any signs of commotion or chatter in the otherwise placid office waiting room.

Apparently one is not supposed to wait to see and advisor. I guess one is just supposed to magically get an appointment and walk right in. I have never seen any office work that way ever but it must be a magical and special university. One wonders why they had chairs in the waiting room if this was the case.

While we don't know the whole story there is no mention during the discussion of an
statements that would indicate harassment. The only time it comes up is when the
administrator says waiting for an appointment in the conference room is harassment.
That is nonsense

I am sure as time goes by, more of this will come to light (if there is more to it, that is).

In the Twitter/YouTube/Facebook age, non-stories are the new stories. :roll:

Sitting in a waiting room waiting for an appointment is harassment. Absolutely unreal. How does someone that stupid keep remembering to breathe?

I get that but the sheer stupidity of some people just drives me up a wall sometimes.



Darwinism at work. I recall listening to a local news story that stated that the schools were sending home notices stating that suffocation/choking games are being played at schools. While it would be sad if any of them died, it's really their own stupidity that caused their demise.

That is a whole different level of stupid, but those are just kids too. Kids need to be watched over because of their propensity for stupidity.

This was a guy in a waiting room. Waiting. By all accounts, he was using the room as it was intended. To even suggest this is in someway harassment is ridiculous and it smells like elitist, 'trigger word', entitled B.S.

People cry "harassment" and "discrimination" far too easily nowadays.
