The Chronicle: Did a professor at the University of Hawaii file one too many grievances?
The letter handed to Michael J. D’Andrea on the morning of March 2 didn’t use the term banishment. Its wording was less dramatic; its tone, while direct, was almost soothing. “This is to inform you that effective immediately upon your receipt of this letter, you are being reassigned to work at home with pay while the University of Hawaii … addresses several issues concerning your alleged intimidating, hostile and bullying behavior,” wrote Denise E. Konan, interim chancellor of the Manoa campus. She reassured Mr. D’Andrea, a professor of counselor education, that the decision was “not a disciplinary action; however, it is a necessary one.”
