I am suprised that none has mentioned the most recent and most notable case of sexual misconduct at hyde, In 2004 the very popular music teachers was fired because he had been having a relationship with a student and had engaged in sexual activity with this student while on a school trip. They had one meeting to adress what had happend, and to announce that bigalow was not working at hyde anymore...to my knowladge no leagal action was taken and many students ran into him in town afterwards. it is also worth saying that many of the female student in his music classes were uneasy with him and thought that he was too close with a handful of the girls, of course nothing was done about it untill it was too late.
as a side note i dont believe we should be using psydonyms for sexual predators
Very surprised about Mr Bigolow. I remember he left very quickly and out of the blue. The parents must have put a lot of pressure on the school or filed suit because Hyde does not take these things very seriously. Shoot, when Dubinsky molested the girl Hyde continued to allow him on campus and around the female students. Dubinsky was invited to have his wedding on campus and to this day is welcome back to look for new prey
I must admit I have no knowledge of how the chips fell in the Bigelow situation. It wouldn't surprise me, however, if I were to learn that Hyde never even bothered to inform the student's parents, after all was said and done. Perhaps the student did not inform her parents either; perhaps she was too ashamed, after all the grilling and insinuations that Hyde put her through in the aftermath. 'Tis probably a most egregious and cynical perspective on my part, but... well, there it is.
As to the dissimilar treatment of these two pedophiles, my guess is that Bigelow was more expendable than Dubinsky was. Dubinsky was also a former student, and was then or previously the Dean of Students, so Hyde had a vested interest in having him be seen as a "success story." And they had the quandary of dealing with his wife also being a teacher there, along with three of his kids enrolled at the time (I might be wrong about the exact number of them). Disruption of that little apple cart was a mess they probably were hoping to avoid.
You are right, they don't take these situations very seriously, at least from the standpoint of the effects on the
students involved, let alone the message it sends to the
rest of the student body.
