Allen, Richard, 1959- from Library of Congress website
This guy taught at Sarah Lawrence in 2005/2006 and was the most abusive, misogynistic, hateful, degrading human being I have ever had to deal with in academia. He has absolutely no business teaching and I’m glad they fired him. He was verbally abusive to me to the point I had to ask another faculty member to intervene on my behalf as he was quite threatening and a bully and accused me of being lazy and stupid. I’m glad they managed to pawn him off on Tufts who no doubt celebrate such toxicity.
