Shaun, in fact, the online workplace also has legal pitfalls. Student slander of teachers is one example. Open online posts that belittle teachers are sadly a "fact of life." Administration ought to be ready to back faculty to the "hilt" with firm pushback against such slanders. Of course, yes, faculty are not perfect; for a student to publicly accuse this writer of being a racist because a student did not get the grade she wanted is uncalled for, especially when the student publishes it in an open online public forum for all to read. Such behaviors are sadly a fact of online life, and they ought to invite good, hard legal action to set an example. Yes, online is not free from fallen human nature.
