'Tiger Mom' Amy Chua says Yale punishing her over false student allegationshttps://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/547265-tiger-mom-amy-chua-says-yale-punishing-her-over-false-studentThe author of a controversial 2011 book on parenting says that Yale Law School is punishing her over false allegations raised by students by removing her from a position teaching one of the law school's "small groups," which are informal learning groups that meet outside the classroom.
Amy Chua wrote in a letter to Yale Law faculty on Thursday saying that she was not seeking reinstatement to the position, which she stressed repeatedly she had been hesitant to accept in the first place. Instead, she will seek an outside investigation into why details of confidential agreements she made with the school's administrators were apparently leaked to the school's student news organization.
"[T]here should be an investigation into how these breaches of confidentiality occurred, with serious punishment for anyone found to be responsible," she wrote.
Chua added in her letter that the student newspaper, the Yale Daily News, was mischaracterizing a 2019 agreement she made with administrators at the school which the newspaper reported barred Chua from hosting dinner parties or drinking with students in response to previous gatherings at Chua's house and allegations about the conduct of her and her husband.
She's ethnic Chinese, and her husband is ethnic Jewish.
