Chapter 46 - Bullying at Scandinavian Business University

Robyn V. Remke

Synopsis

Rochelle, a faculty member at Scandinavia Business University, is preparing to oversee her undergraduate student Amy’s thesis defense. As the meeting nears, she deals with resistance from the thesis committee censor, Bernard, who is a practitioner and expert in the local business community. Bernard vehemently disagrees with the theoretical base of Amy’s entire project and believes Amy should receive a failing grade for her thesis project. Rochelle tries to convince Bernard of the theory validity, while trying to find support from local administration and fellow faculty to help her deal with Bernard’s hostility.
