Voice of San Diego: Art School Fires Lead Union Organizer
Wednesday, June 6, 2007 | About 130 students at San Diego’s Art Institute of California will be finishing the last two weeks of their academic year without something that has become a fixture in the classroom: their teacher.
On Tuesday, the private, for-profit college dismissed Greg Campbell, an instructor who has worked for the school for three years and had been teaching six anthropology and ethics classes at the institute this spring. The dismissal followed several weeks-long investigations into allegations of sexual harassment and other classroom improprieties by the teacher, accusations Campbell said have been cooked up to punish him for leading a faculty unionization drive at the school.
