Hello,
My name is Courtney Wright and I am a graduate of Peabody
College of Vanderbilt with secondary certification (7-12)
in English. Currently, I am a graduate student at
Northwestern University working under the direction of Dr.
Michael E. Roloff in the Department of Communication
Studies with a concentration in Interaction and Social
Influence. For my 2nd year project, Professor Michael E.
Roloff and I are conducting a research study entitled,
Classroom justice, principled dissent, and tenure status:
Instructor reactions to perceived unfairness (IRB Project
# 0423-055). The purpose of this research study is to
explore instructor perceptions of, and reactions to,
justice violations within school policies and procedures.
I am in desperate need of a population to sample and thus
I am asking you, my fellow educators, if you would be
willing to volunteer for my study and complete a
questionnaire (the link is provided below). I am very
interested in having your viewpoints included in this
study and would greatly appreciate your being willing to
spare a little bit of your time (approximately 45 minutes)
to help a fellow educator and hardworking graduate
student. The Northwestern University Institutional Review
Board (IRB) has approved this research study and your
participation will be completely confidential.
Please be gracious enough to complete and return the
questionnaire [link provided below] via email. Directions
to guide you through this technological process are
included below. Because this is a “snowball” survey, we
(Professor Roloff and myself) would appreciate it if you
would forward this email to at least two fellow educators,
one with tenure status and one without. We will
appreciate any, and all input we receive regarding
instructor perceptions of justice violations in school
policies and procedures. Thank you in advance for your
support!
Feel free to email me at c-[email removed].
Sincerely,
Dr. Michael E. Roloff, Faculty Investigator

Public education in Texas is in BIG trouble! We have a
politician in Austin who is from Arlington, and is the
head of the education committee. His name is Kent
Grusendorf anf he hates teachers! He blames teachers for
his son's suicide, and has been punishing teachers since
he was elected. If he gets re-elected, we will lose our
continuing contracts. We'll also lose our 22-1 class cap
for K-3, and our 30-minute duty-free lunch (I never knew
those existed until I came to Texas!) He supports
vouchers, which as we all know takes money from public
education. There is a lady running against him this year
who has a good chance of defeating him. Her name is Diane
Patrick. Early voting for this primary election is Feb
21 - March 3, and the regular election is March 7. We
have it on good authority that he plans to initiate a
nasty smear campaign against her just prior to the
primary. Those of us who care about our children are
asking that voters who live in District 94 call, write, or
email their friends and family to ask them to vote for
Diane Patrick. We're even asking those dyed-in-the-wool,
straight-Democrat-ticket voters to, JUST THIS ONCE, to
vote in the primary, vote early, and vote for Diane
Patrick. If you have friends or family in the Arlington,
Texas, area please forward this email to them and ask them
to help us defeat Kent Grusendorf. Thanks, and have a
great rest-of-the-year!
