ABSTRACT
I don’t feel safe in the class anymore. I definitely feel like I’m a target in the class. I don’t feel like students respect me. Those students were trying to undermine my authority from the get-go and I told the lawyer at the investigatory meeting that, you know, you have basically helped those three White male students succeed in undermining my authority as one of the few remaining Black female professors here.
