As examples, the report claims that Finkelstein "shunned'' a colleague who he believes unfairly evaluated his work, "refusing even to return greetings when their paths cross.'' Another says Finkelstein's behavior extended to "dramatically closing his office door when his colleague arrives.'' The report also claims that Finkelstein allegedly called a female staff member a "bitch.''
In e-mails to the three authors of the report, Finkelstein demanded they provide proof of the last incident and said the charges "constitute personal and professional libel.''
Neither the three authors nor Finkelstein responded to my request for comment on the report, but Finkelstein's supporters in the department say he treated them with respect.
The Finkelstein nightmare isn't going to go away soon.
Oh Dave, how 'bout doing a story on Thomas Klocek and DePaul?
