MTVU has some very positive and helpful programs; but the acquisition of RateMyProfessors.com represents a reversal of MTVU's favorable reputation. As a professor, I only recently became aware of the RateMyProfessors Web site. I was informed of defamatory statements about me on the site. After reading the remarks, I was shocked by the distortions and, in some cases, outright lies. The site, in my opinion, primarily serves as an outlet for the hatred and malice of disgruntled students who do not have the conviction or courage to sign their names to their statements. In the meanwhile, the images of many good professors are tarnished. To protect your own image, the RateMyProfessors Website should be discontinued. It not only diminishes the good work of your company but the good name of thousands of productive professors. If the Web site is not discontinued, students should be required to sign their names at the end of their statements. I think that this requirement will increase the creditability of student evaluators. I have responded to the statements about me through the e-mail address on RateMyProfessors.com. I will send a formal letter to your legal department in a few days. Dorothy Drinkard-Hawkshawe Hello.
