Section A/Question 8:
~Southwest Baptist University and The Law~
Definition of Terms --
Predatory Harassment, Sexual Harassment, and Defamation
Question 8 (a - w)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Section A

~Southwest Baptist University and The Law~

(Question 8)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Question 8 (23 parts a-w)
8. In your opinion, would participation or complicity in any of the following actions (described in a - w) by SBU administrators, faculty, staff, or associates CONSTITUTE unethical or illegal PREDATORY HARASSMENT, SEXUAL HARASSMENT, or DEFAMATION of a student?

a) The recurrent endeavor by a married Southwest
Baptist University administrator (a former high
official of the Southern Baptist Convention) to
TOUCH, FONDLE, or MOLEST several female
work-study students -- in spite of the students'
(plural) complaints about the administrator's
inappropriate contact?
Yes/No

b) The demand by a SBU administrator that a female
work-study student -- who had made a complaint
against the administrator's advances -- concede to
being reassigned as his "personal secretary" or be
forced to resign from the work-study program?
Yes/No

c) The RECURRENT endeavor by another married
Southwest Baptist University administrator to
PHYSICALLY and SEXUALLY intimidate, menace,
demean, and humiliate a student.
Yes/No

d) The use of ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY
to DEMAND that a female student, in order to
continue at the university, must submit to FORCED
COUNSELING (which would become part of her
permanent record),
because the student's actions
in DECLINING the SEXUAL ADVANCES and
REPORTING the sexual misconduct of several older,
married men -- including two SBU administrators
and a pastor -- indicated, in his view,
that the student
was "over-reacting" and "not able to show Christian
affection," which was the result of "unnatural
affections" and "probable homosexual tendencies."

*The student in this case refused to the FORCED
COUNSELING
. The administrators and pastor in
question
were later forced to confess to sexual
misconduct
and abuse of authority with other
young women, including
multiple instances of
adultery, and, reportedly in one case, incest.

Yes/No

e) The DEMAND by a SBU administrator that a
student would face EXPULSION (and a record
of the disciplinary action in her permanent
academic record) if she did not act as an
"informant" and PROVIDE INFORMATION
on
the sexual activities and histories (including
childhood abuse)
of her dormmates, friends,
and other SBU students, so that he could
"discern" which students, especially "smart
women," were likely to be used as "instruments
of the devil," and involved in "wh**edom" or
"Satan worship."
Yes/No

*After explaining that she had NO first-hand
knowledge of ANY student's sexual activities
and did not intend to break trust with friends
and prayer partners by discussing confidential
matters, the student in this case refused to act
as an
"informant," and was, as a result, told that
she was expelled, effective immediately, and was

dismissed to go pack. However, no formal
administrative
action was actually taken
against her.


f) The ABUSE of ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY
by the DEMAND by a SBU administrator that
a female student would be EXPELLED (and the
disciplinary action for "insubordination" placed
in her academic record) if she did not immediately
answer his summons and come to his office to
sit facing him, as he sat on the desktop (with
his legs apart and often fully aroused) with the
student's face inches from his crouch, as he
recited (in increasingly graphic and obscene
detail) the list of sexual sins, which his ever-
secret "sources" reported as having been
committed by the student and her classmates --
until the student finally broke down in tears
and begged to leave, which the administrator
affirmed as "proof" of the student's "guilty
conscience."
Yes/No

*After several semesters of such encounters,
the student in this case refused to answer the
administrator's written summons, telling the
Resident Assistant and Dorm Mother the reason
for her refusal and explaining that, in the future,
she would push the letters out of the back of
her campus mailbox -- without opening them.


g)
The abuse of ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY
to engage in RETALIATORY SLANDER (by the
distribution of FALSE and malicious accusations
based on no evidence, fabricated events and
fictitious "witnesses") to a student's parents,
friends, employers, and other church members
that a female SBU student was "promiscuous"
and, therefore, UNWORTHY to pursue a career
in the ministry.
Yes/No

h) The abuse of ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY
to engage in RETALIATORY SLANDER against
a female SBU student by distribution of FALSE
accusations to a student's parents and others
that a SBU student was "promiscuous" and,
therefore, UNWORTHY to pursue a career in
the ministry -- even though the student had not
dated, was unquestionably qualified as a virgin
(by any definition), and had obtained MEDICAL
PROOF of her virginity.
Yes/No

i) The use of ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY to
ENCOURAGE the sexual harassment of a SBU
student by other students, especially members
of the male sports teams -- including a violent
but unsuccessful, on-campus, homosexual assault
against a student with the intent of forcibly and
"manually" DESTROYING the proof of a student's
virginity.
Yes/No

j) The abuse of ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY
by engaging in RETALIATORY SLANDER by
means of the distribution of FALSE ACCUSATIONS
to a student's parents and others that a SBU
student -- who had stated that she would defend
herself, if necessary, against any further sexual
assault -- was, for this reason, "unstable," "violent"
and "possibly dangerous" and should not be
permitted to return home to her family or to her
home church, or to pursue a professional career
involving the ministry or working with children.
Yes/No

k) The use of ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY
to engage in RETALIATORY SLANDER (after
the student had quietly reported her concerns
about the misconduct of several administrators
and a pastor) by the circulation, without the
student's knowledge, of FALSE ACCUSATIONS
to SBU staff members, Bolivar townspeople,
and others that a SBU student had been a
PROSTITUTE and had left campus to have
an ABORTION and/or a CHILD.
Yes/No

l) The abuse of ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY
to engage in RETALIATORY SLANDER by
calling a student's PARENTS on the day before
her mother was to have major surgery to inform
them (without providing evidence or witnesses,
or allowing the student an opportunity to confront
her accusers, or to defend herself against the
allegations) that the student was ENGAGED
in PROSTITUTION and ALCOHOL and DRUG
ABUSE.
Yes/No

m) The ABUSE of ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY to
deceptively (and illegally) gain access to a student's
personal belongings, personal papers, diaries, and
research/study notes in order to SEARCH and
vandalize her room as a means of intimidating,
humiliating, and vindictively DEBASING the student.
Yes/No

*The student in this case was told (in writing)
that she was a "problem student" (with no
explanation or reason given for this use of this
term) and must leave campus housing, which
she did, immediately.

n) The ABUSE of ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY
by engaging in RETALIATORY SLANDER based
on the DELIBERATE MISINTERPRETATION
of the student's (illegally seized and vandalized)
research notes by claiming that the student was
NOT initially researching an academic paper
(which later developed into the writing of a
Medieval historical novel), but was a WITCH,
who had been cutting up animals and offering
BLOOD SACRIFICES to Satan in the park,
and should, therefore, be denied church
fellowship [the administrator was a deacon
at her local church] and the opportunity to
complete a degree program at a Christian
university.
Yes/No

o) The ABUSE of ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY
through the engagement of the retaliatory
PSYCHOLOGICAL, EMOTIONAL, and SOCIAL
ABUSE by the systematic disruption of a SBU
student's friendships with classmates and the
REFUSAL to grant PERMISSION to other SBU
students to ROOM with the student in off-campus
housing based on the RETALIATORY SLANDERS
that the student was: "promiscuous"; had been
a prostitute; had an abortion and/or child, and,
later, was "unstable," "violent," "antisocial," "a
witch" and "NOT a suitable Christian student."
Yes/No

p) The abuse of ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY
to engage in RETALIATORY SLANDER by the
propagation of false accusations to a student's
EMPLOYER and the ENCOURAGEMENT
and/or TOLERANCE of sexual humiliation,
slander, and harassment against the student.
Yes/No

q) The ABUSE of ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY
to engage in the retaliatory PSYCHOLOGICAL
and EMOTIONAL ABUSE by the DEMAND to
the student's parents and pastor that, in order
to graduate from Southwest Baptist University,
the student must CONFESS to substance abuse
and submit to FORCED DRUG and ALCOHOL
COUNSELING (which would become part of
her permanent academic record) -- in spite of
the fact that there was never ANY evidence of
or witness to ANY substance abuse whatsoever
and that the student had agreed to undergo
drug testing and/or monitoring to prove her
innocence.
Yes/No

*The student in this case refused to confess
or submit to counseling, was told that she was
once again expelled, but no formal administrative
action was taken.

r) The ABUSE of ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY
by using leadership position within the local church
(such as deacon, pastors, Sunday school teachers,
etc.) to engage in RETALIATORY SLANDER and
the spread of vindictive misinformation for the
purpose of DISRUPTING a student's CHURCH and
SPIRITUAL LIFE -- even extending to the circulating
slander to pastors and members of other churches,
which the student sought to join or visit in Bolivar,
Polk and Greene Counties and even out-of-state --
and preventing the student's pursuit of a career
in the Christian ministry or teaching.
Yes/No

s) The ABUSE of ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY
and PASTORAL AUTHORITY to distribute (in
violation of FERPA) a CONFIDENTIAL LETTER
sent to a pastor closely associated with SBU and
the circulation of retaliatory slander based on the
DELIBERATE MISINTERPRETATION of that letter.
Yes/No


t) The ABUSE of ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY
to engage in the retaliatory PSYCHOLOGICAL
and EMOTIONAL ABUSE by the demand that,
in order to complete a degree at SBU, a senior
student must submit to FORCED COUNSELING
(which would become part of her permanent
academic record) and CONFESS her parents'
participation and "guilt" in UNREMEMBERED
"CHILDHOOD ABUSE," which the administrator
declared was at the root of the student's "sexual
inadequacy and sin," "rebellion," and inability to
"repent and cooperate" with his "investigations"
of the childhood abuse and sexual activities of
other students.
Yes/No

u) The ABUSE of ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY
by the deliberate retaliatory PSYCHOLOGICAL
and EMOTIONAL ABUSE of a SBU student by
the circulation of the SLANDER that her HEALTH
DIFFICULTIES were directly due to her "sexual sin
problem," the result of the "WRATH OF GOD" and
her "sins of omission and commission" in refusing
to confess and to cooperate with his "investigations."
Yes/No

v) The USE of ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY to
engage in the malicious distribution of CONFIDENTIAL
MEDICAL HISTORY with the purpose of denigrating
a student and dissuading or preventing the student
from pursuing a professional or ministerial career.
Yes/No
and
The CONTINUED distribution of MEDICAL
INFORMATION -- even AFTER such information
was shown to be FALSE and INACCURATE --
in order to FURTHER discredit, harass, and
intimidate the student.
Yes/No


w) The USE of ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY
to inflict PSYCHOLOGICAL and EMOTIONAL
ABUSE upon a distraught SBU student by
meticulously illustrating the techniques used
to SUCCESSFULLY COMMIT SUICIDE, taunting
the student with the rationality that -- since it
was now impossible to prove her innocence
of the dozens of false accusations and
RETALIATORY SLANDERS circulated by the
SBU administration, staff and others, and,
given the fact that "a decent, Christian man"
would not marry her "with such a bad reputation,"
and that she would never have a family, or have
a professional career in teaching or the ministry
"with such a bad record" -- it was best that the
student CONFESS her sins "while God could
still forgive" her and "go home to be with the
Lord," so she would not selfishly burden her
family and friends with any more disappointment,
trouble, or hardship.
Yes/No

*The student in this case eventually sought counseling on her own from a professor, who agreed that, after all the abuse and harassment, the professor would be saddened ("but not at all surprised") if the student did, in fact, end her life "just to find some peace."

However, the professor
warned that if the student stayed at the university, the administrator, if given the opportunity, would, in order to silence her, have her involuntarily committed for having taken his "advice" in contemplating suicide.

The student left Southwest Baptist University mid-semester -- without funds, alienated from her family and home church, suffering from ill health, and having no where to go.

Wanting to escape the relentless persecution of the administrator (who was a deacon at the church), she resigned from that local church, stating that she no longer wanted to have anything to do with institutional Christianity.

This student does not regret that decision, as leaving SBU and the institutional church saved her soul ... and gave her a new life.

Yes, the student had a new life -- at least until she returned to Southwest Baptist University (
following the sudden dismissal one of the primary persecuting administrators/ deacons for adultery and sexual misconduct) to finish her few remaining classes and complete her degree at a Christian university, which was her father's dying wish.

Less then a month into the semester, while attending class on the campus of Southwest Baptist University, the student was acutely poisoned and permanently disabled by illegally- applied, neurotoxic pesticides.
