Muslim prof allowed to resign after accused of spanking female students

A Drake University associate professor, Mahmoud Hamad, is accused of making a female student sit on his lap and threatening to spank her. Rather than terminating his employment at the Iowa school, Drake is allowing him to resign, after a report concluded he sexually "intimidated female students" [plural].

Hamad was placed on a leave of absence and "has no teaching or academic responsibilities" at the school, Sue Mattison, the provost told the Des Moines Register on Thursday.

Hamad's resignation is effective June 1st. He hasn't taught since 2016 and went on a sabbatical last year--it's a good racket.

The internal investigation by Drake found Hamad "physically, sexually and verbally intimidated female students and did exploit the power differential that existed between him and his female students."

Perhaps now that he's no longer working for the school, he can get a job at NBC.

Due to the existence of political correctness and the fact that Hamad is a Muslim and the school doesn't want to be labeled 'Islamophobic,' the university did not refer the case to the Des Moines Police Department.

The first student to speak out about the randy assistant professor was graduate student Nickey Jafari, age 24. She posted on social media last year that she met Hamad, who became her adviser, in the summer of 2011 during a student trip to Egypt. Hamad was the group's leader and instructor.

She said Hamad "asked her to sit on his lap" and she did so twice. She also stated that Hamad "put his arms around her and his face was close to her neck." The kinky prof then asked Jafari to refer to him as "Dad."

Jafari said he promised her a free trip to Egypt if she had a perfect grade-point average and also claimeld Hamad threatened to "spank" her if she did not receive all A's.

According to Jafari, she decided to report Hamad because she feared he would go to another school and do the same thing with other young women students. She added that Olympic gold medal-winner Aly Raisman inspired her to come forward. [Raisman was one of the sexual assault victims of disgraced gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar.

Investigators found the claims against Hamad "credible" and found he "violated university policies through unwelcome advances and unwelcome verbal and physical conduct and intimidation aimed at female students because of their sex."

Jared Bernstein, the director of Drake's public relations, told Fox News: "Drake University is committed to the safety and well-being of all students, and especially those who have the courage to come forward with a complaint."

Evidently they are not committed to the safety and well-being quite as much, for those students too frightened to come forward, nor are they committed to terminating the employment of scum wafers who violate the school's commitment, particularly if it isn't politically correct to do so.

Vets don't want to be politicized by Trump

Paul Reckehoff who heads the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America tweeted that his group hadn't heard from the Trump campaign and didn't know which organizations would be involved with the event Trump is to attend in lieu of the GOP debate scheduled for tonight. 

He tweeted: "If offered, @IAVA will decline donations from Trump's event. We need strong policies from candidates, not to be used for political stunts."

The female GOP candidate, Carly Fiorina, said her campaign would donate $1.5 million to veteran's causes, if she can join a Trump-Cruz debate.

Trump has not made it clear precisely which veteran(s) group(s) would be included in tonight's event in Des Moines, and to many, it sounds as if he came up with the idea on the spur of the moment. But one thing seems clear, veterans don't want to be used as political pawns in a Trumpian showmanship ploy. Trump's campaign merely said that the "special event to benefit veterans organizations" would be held at Drake University in Des Moines.

Trump told Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, "We're going to raise a lot of money for the veterans. A lot of money is going to be raised." He then made it clear that he would definitely not be attending the debate.

Some say Trump dodged the debate just like he dodged the draft in the Vietnam War era.

A recent tweet by Trump referred to Megyn Kelly, a Fox News debate moderator, as a "bimbo." In his book, The Art of the Deal, Trump has bragged about sleeping with some of the wives of the men with whom he had business deals. 

Some of these issues may come back to haunt in with the evangelical voters in Iowa.

But, as he said, he could shoot someone on the street and people would still vote for him. He may be right.
