Hello World! campaign
The targets of Academic Mobbing are exceptional faculty — idealistic high achievers that excel in teaching, research, and service. The mobbers' strive to destroy the target professionally, personally, and psychologically. Recovery is never complete. However, it was inevitable that a target would recover enough to be able to publicly out their abusers and shine a spotlight on Academic Mobbing. I am that target.
Given the feedback from the Hello Canada! and Hello World! campaigns, "MacEwan University" is becoming a household name in academia nationally and internationally. Academics are learning about the Psychological Abuse orchestrated by MacEwan Administrators, about the failures of the MacEwan Faculty Association, and about the working conditions at MacEwan. MacEwan is becoming an academic PARIAH.
- The Hello Canada! campaign informed over 50 000 Canadian academics about PrairieU and MacEwan.
- The Hello World! campaign informed over one million international academics about PrairieU and MacEwan.
These campaigns have several goals:
- to inform people applying for employment at MacEwan about the institutional environment
- to inform institutions so they can be wary of MacEwan Administrators applying for employment at their institution
- to provide academics studying workplace Psychological Abuse and Academic Mobbing with a trove of evidence for analysis (additional documents are available)
- to have external pressure encourage change at MacEwan
- to have MacEwan make whole those faculty it Psychologically Abused
MacEwan had substantial warning about these campaigns, with selected administrators having over three month's notice of the Hello Canada! campaign. A reasonable Administration would realize that burying their head in the sand was not working, and would have chosen to address the wrongdoing for the betterment of MacEwan students, staff, faculty, MacEwan, and society. This never happened. Why? Possible explanations are that
- MacEwan Administration doesn't care
- MacEwan Administration is blocked from acting by senior administrators (President Atkinson?)
- MacEwan's attorney has informed MacEwan Administration that there is nothing they can do
- MacEwan Adminstration is refusing the recommendations of their attorney (Not the first time they have ignored their own attorney. One instance ultimately resulted in the creation of www.PrairieU.ca.)
Maybe the next MacEwan Board Chair and/or MacEwan President will be willing to facilitate change at MacEwan and fix the historical wrongs. But by then, over a million academics will have learned about MacEwan University and MacEwan's reputation will be well-established nationally and internationally.

My heartfelt sympathy
You have my heartfelt sympathy.
There are ways to achieve any result in personnel matters by disguising the intent behind invented evidence. Compared to the academic woirld, the corporate world is even more brutal in this regard.
Administrators generally consider themselves “above the fray” because they are tasked with making sure the institution stays afloat. This makes them come across as dictatorial over the academicians who actually produce the work that students value and pay for.
It is a rare institution whose culture is truly kind, generous, and inclusive. Based on the evidence you have sent, MacEwan University is not in that superior group.

Another story (anonymized)
I am the first woman full professor in Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater (UWW).
I was unfairly fired by the Board of Regents on August 18, 2016, after 32 years at the UWW. I have all the e-mails to defend my case and prove:
I WON AN APPEAL AT THE UNIVERSITY LEVEL — NO JUST CAUSE WAS FOUND FOR MY TERMINATION. YET CHANCELLOR TELFER IGNORED THIS DECISION AND SENT THE REQUEST FOR TERMINATION TO THE BOARD. CHANCELLOR TELFORD THEN TOOK EARLY RETIREMENT, POSSIBLY FORCED EARLY RETIREMENT AS HE RECEIVED A GOLDEN PARACHUTE.
I believe Chancellor Telfor was exacting revenging because Dean Ross, Martha Saunders, and I did not support him to become Chancellor. We supported Martha Saunders. Now, all three of us have been FIRED!
THIS UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION IS CORRUPT TO THE BONE. I AM DETERMINED TO USE ALL MY MONEY, ALL MY ENERGY, AND ALL MY TIME TO EXPOSE THEM.

Mobbed for sexual orientation
Hi, I was refused tenure at my institution because I am a lesbian. They mobbed me for it. I am very aware of mobbing. There is nothing I can do. If you need any information to add about the research on this topic, I will share your website.
