Didn't have time to verify beyond two sources. The University is also stating that he's been suspended twice before for inappropriate conduct. And termination wasn't just for those comments.
>From Gainesville.com "An accompanying investigation found that he behaved inappropriately toward female students and made a mockery of the sexual harassment lesson, with one witness claiming he made an inappropriate comment about how Latin American women dress. Food and resource economic Chairman Ray Huffaker wrote in the termination letter that Taylor previously had been suspended twice for inappropriate interactions with female students, most recently in 2008, and warned that any remotely similar incidents would result in him being fired." A grievance is being filed. He's claiming academic freedom and free speech is being violated. Stay tuned. . . Tim _______________________________ Timothy O.

It just came over my local news channel that a prof at one of Forida's universities has been fired for stating that latina women dress more provocatively than other women.He was accused of being insensitive to cultural differences.Although it could be noted that latinas may have a different perspective on fashion and presentation of self in everyday social and public appearances,this should not be construed as provocative intent.The Mexican reporter who interviewed football players in the locker room did not deserve the comments hurled at her. Maybe we can get some coments from Miguel, Alejandro Franco ,Jose Alves,and the tipster at Cukegio de Maya(Morales) about the dress paradigm of latina women and if it is meant to be provacative. Shakira.Estefan,and Ja Lo come to mind. And has there been a comparison and contrast of latinas with the other co-eds in your classes?
