The FBI is investigating text messages sent to female law professors, which complained that women are outperforming men in law school.
Law.com has the story, noted by Above the Law.
One of the recipients, Victoria Haneman, a professor at the Creighton University School of Law, posted a screenshot of one of the texts to X, formerly known as Twitter. She received the text Feb. 25.
The sender asked whether he has reached Haneman and then said: “Law school isn’t fair for us men anymore, women always outperform us nowadays.”
After Haneman asks for the sender’s identity, the sender said: “I admit you women have clearly won the battle of the sexes, us men are the losers,” as well as “It’s not fair” and “Will I get in trouble if I say who I am.”
Several commenters said they had also received the messages, which one described as “super creepy.”
A public safety official at Creighton told Law.com that it is working with the FBI to investigate.
Law.com reports that law professors at nine law schools have reportedly received the messages, along with a female law student and four undergraduate professors.
