Do 'Dissed' Teachers Have Case? Free Speech6/12/2000; 10:06:47 AM Teacher Review gathers feedback from college students about professors and allows other students to read it, providing a forum for student communication.Looking at reviews like this, one can well imagine that the teachers are trying to sue the people writing these reviews.Mostly I 'blog this because this shouldn't be an issue in Wired. This is just a forum for students to talk. Some of them are probably being libelous. We have laws for that. Underground 'zines have been doing this for decades. The professors are going to have to adjust to the fact that their students can and will communicate with each other.Such organized criticism from the students may be long overdue and just may solve the long-standing problem of professors who coast after aquiring that all-importent tenure. Barring libel, which is already illegal anyhow, professors have only their own performance to truly be afraid of.
