Not too surprising

Props to RobertH for finding this.  http://www.1011now.com/content/news/Nebraska-student-resume-recruitment-for-conservative-group-442260303.html

 I noticed they gave the students name, but not the teacher.

SemperFiGuy:
The lecturer may have been Dr. Amanda Gailey of UNL's English Department.

She appears to be somewhat of a Hard-Leftist Activist.   Some would say "Rabidly Hard-left Activist".   I would be among those of the latter viewpoint.

Dr. Gailey was previously quoted in the papers as holding up a sign indicating that she wanted to be placed on the UNL Liberal Professor list.  Such action appears to violate certain UNL Regent's ByLaws regarding collegiality and all that proper academic stuff.  Perhaps that's why she has been removed from teaching status, which is a serious reprimand in academic circles.  (After all, if you can't teach, then there's not much left.   Yeah....I know:  Research, Service, etc.   But teaching is the main core gig.)
 
Looks like Someone in the UNL Administration has decided to take righteous action.  Incredibly surprising.

It will be of interest to members of this Forum that before Dr. Gailey was seen harassing UNL students, she was the rabid activist leader of something called Nebraskans Against Gun Violence.   Her previous web rants--which seem to have recently faded away somehow--show that she is actually against guns in just about any form.  Although the NAGV web site, perhaps hypocritically, says they are not against gun ownership.  Yet, here is a NAGV Facebook posting:

When you donate to Nebraskans Against Gun Violence, you can be sure that your money will go directly towards grassroots gun control efforts led by Nebraskans.
For those who want to see their dollars distributed around the country for gun control efforts, please donate to States United to Prevent Gun Violence.

Guess she'll never become an NFOA Forum Member.

At least, not a Full Member.

Pity.

FWIW,

Les:
That would be a pretty good bet. 

Lorimor:
"Rabid" is putting it mildly.
