Question (from "Young Prof. Ingenue"): I’m in my first year on the tenure track at Ordinary U, where Prof. Priapus is my senior colleague. He’s taken it upon himself to mentor me, and I appreciate his knowledge. He started teaching at Ord U before I was born and says he knows "where the bodies are buried." I’m afraid I’ll wind up as one of them.
At first we had coffee or lunch (I always paid for my stuff). Professor Priapus would talk about discoveries in our field. He’s a nationally known, prizewinning scholar who got me connected with our national organization, including its women’s caucus. He’s been very generous with his time.
But lately he can’t keep his hands to himself.
