Isenberg School of Management, UMass Amherst

My MBA is from this school, I researched it in 2015 and ultimately completed the degree in 2018. Excellent ROI. Overall I chose the business school for its rank and reputation and caliber of teaching. I got a better job as a result. The program is more challenging than I expected, which is perfect. The MBA degree from UMass advanced my salary and career. I learned a great deal from my classmates as well as all of the professors -- highly recommend.

One of our family went here, and while I've always loved the school and the area we really had a terrible experience. Granted this is going to be limited to our experiences, the department, and a couple of individuals, but the way with which the situation was handled by administration was also a key factor.nnFemale in an engineering department; faced a large amount of sexism and harassment. A very unsavory document was uncovered by accident owned by a professor and ex-military ROTC representative that was left out publicly. The document was used to market the school to new students in with packets of information about the school. This document was framed as a joke on his PhD research project, featuring scantily clad busty women and a play on words for the title of his project. Honestly I provide a picture but I think it would violate Google's policies. This was documented and brought forward to others to handle both in the department and administration. Though we were assured that he would and did face severe consequences, nothing was ever noticed or communicated other than maybe something that could have been considered as community service. This isn't rehabilitation for something that's clearly sexual harassment. no one should ever have to see or uncover some sort of document like this let alone have it be utilized in a professional education setting toward other students.nnthe professor seem to continue to be around and every fashion and every way. He even made glares paste around awkwardly and trying to discern who the person was the had ratted him out. since there aren't many women in the department and where both individuals offices were, it probably wasn't very hard for him to make a reasonable assumption. Other professionals that were worked with also exhibited signs of subtle but clear judgemental retaliation after being aware of the situation. this made the educational environment incredibly uncomfortable, stressful and almost impossible to work in on a daily basis. We ended up leaving the school and the area largely because of the situation.nnAll of this and the document itself was brought to the attention of others, yet the professor remains in every capacity. Offers for certain support and help were made as well as moving workspaces departments and so forth, but really in a situation that was completely incidental the seem like the opposite of what would have been best. Lets treat the individual who has no fault and no action of wrongdoing like they did something wrong. Why not move the professor's office or move the professor's department or rescind his project? Or better yet just remove him altogether.nnThis is very unfortunate and not what I would expect from a progressive liberal public institution. While I'm not sure what you may think should have happened, this certainly isn't what we felt was appropriate likely just to protect a professor and at the expense protecting students rights and success.
