Pranked

Professor Harold Pippinger is close to the end of a long career. He dreams of retiring with an "emeritus" title. But his hopes are upended after one of his students, an angry young woman named Mona Morrisset, accuses him of sexual harassment. He is suspended from the teaching that he loves and tossed into the looking-glass world of Title IX enforcement, where no one in the all-powerful Office of Diversity and Inclusion will tell him exactly what he's done. Meanwhile, Mona realizes she's set more powerful forces in motion than she intended. She's tortured by second thoughts. If only she'd waited, given herself time to think before calling the Bias Response Team. Her anguish increases when the case leaks and violent protests erupt over what campus feminists see as the school's endemic sexism. When the mayhem gains the attention of state lawmakers, the future of the entire college is thrown into doubt. Harold twists in the wind as he awaits the decision of the Special Examiner assigned to hear his case. When it leaks, the shock waves reverberate from the college to the state capital.
