We Report, You Decide: Did Ex-Math Department Professor Chad Topaz Sexually Harass a Journalist?

 


WILLIAMSTOWN, MA - A journalist named Christopher Brunet is wondering if he has been sexually harassed online by ex-Williams Math Department professor Chad Topaz. The transcript of Chad Topaz's sexually-oriented comments is posted above. We report, you decide.

Christopher has been covering Chad's efforts to demonize math professors who do not share his woke, anti-racist zeal. As he writes: "In the course of reporting this story, Chad Topaz started rambling about how he wants to molest me."

According to Christopher, multiple professors from Williams College have contacted him and urged him to file an official complaint against Chad.

"I am not sure. My biggest hesitation is that if I file such a claim of sexual harassment, it will trivialize victims of actual sexual harassment. On the other hand… was I sexually harassed? I think I might have been? I don’t know. I am walking away from this encounter feeling more confused than anything. I think Topaz was trying to bully/intimidate me…but in a really sexually aggressive way? Weird."

Chad Topaz - Woke Enforcer - Exits Williams College Math Department

 


WILLIAMSTOWN, MA - Goofy woke math professor, Chad Topaz, has left the math department at Williams College. As he writes: "It stinks that in the end my choices were "have a real department but one that's hostile" or "have a non-hostile environment at the expense of not really having a department." And yet that's not really even a choice."

The decision was announced on Chad's Twitter account on April 13, 2022.

Chad’s story is that he requested — and was granted  — the opportunity to leave the Mathematics and Statistics department to take a new position as what he calls a professor of Complex Systems. Apparently, he made the title up himself.

Later, he explains that he will be housed in the Department of Humanities in a job that looks like a backward step in his career. As he writes: “It is not a department in the traditional sense. It's more of an administrative structure that gives me a non-hostile environment out of which to be based at the college.” 

Objectively, it looks like his new, lesser role, will properly place him in the social justice warrior category. After all, calling him a math professor was a stretch given his extremist views and willingness to compile enemies lists against his non-woke colleagues. 

He writes: “I'll be teaching my 300-level Math/Comp Social Justice research course and it will be cross-listed with American Studies, Science and Technology Studies, and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.” The bottom line is if you want to be exposed to his woke, disturbing views you do not have to pretend to be interested in the math department too.

If anyone at Williams College can supply us with more details, we will be happy to publish them here and promote them on Twitter.

Williams Liberty is interested in learning more about comments online to the effect that Chad Topaz recently deleted a Twitter account after being exposed for manipulating data.

Finally, is it possible to report Chad Topaz to Williams College for engaging in sexual harassment based on his treatment of the journalist Christopher Brunet?
