A Michigan college professor, of language and literature no less, was suspended without pay for assigning a short story by James Joyce that included sexual innuendo, reports WDIV-TV.
John Bonnell, a teacher at Macomb County Community College, was suspended following complaints from a student about the content of the class.
The assignment in question was to read a Joyce story entitled The Boarding House. A passage from the story reads: "She knew he had a good screw for one thing and she suspected he had a bit of stuff put by."
Critical Mass (http://www.erinoconnor.org/) has been all over this one and has more details.

Now It's Just 'Bordering On'
The Chancellor of Maricopa County Community College was fired last week, reports the Arizona Republic, in part because he looks at women and treat them in ways that “border on sexual harassment.”
Members of the board of the college said women on campus were uncomfortable with the way Fred Gaskin looked at them. One wrote that she was afraid to ride in the elevator with him.
