Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well, I wouldn't assume it was gender discrimination if you have pretty good evidence that she's unstable.

Oh, sure, bon- I was just clumsily thinking out loud, connecting it to the research I'd done. (eta: I mean, it was just my first emotional reaction)

I'm guessing if she had been wildly unstable, it wouldn't have gotten to that meeting, but I don't know how academia works -- if you're on the tenure track, do you automatically stay there?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

From what I've seen, most people who are hired in a tenure-track job will stay in that job until tenure review, unless they do something really horrible.
