Wild Justice

"WILD JUSTICE" by Ruth M. Sprague is a story set in the early 1990s that follows Professor Diana Trenchant as she fights against a rigged termination hearing. After being falsely accused of tampering with student evaluations, Diana finds herself battling the sexism and unfair practices of Belmont University. The story dives into the power plays between faculty and administrators, highlighting figures like the self-serving Henry Tarbuck and Lyle Stone, who want to ruin Diana's reputation to protect their own interests. Professor Jonathan Bambridge also shows the silent approval that often happens in academic settings. The story exposes how Diana's case is really about gender bias and the university's desire to keep things the way they are, not about her actual actions. Sprague uses humor and anger to reveal the deep-seated sexism in academic institutions.
