I'd prefer to provide to everyone’s interest the sly and devious hiring methods of Palm Beach State University, officially referred to as Palm Beach Community College. There was previously a massage therapist from the title of Lynda Robbins who had been a massage teacher in the university for several years. It just-so happens that Lynda Robbins wasn't popular by her other teachers or even the representative of this program Cheryl Gieses. Lynda suffered a long time of abuse and passive-aggressive conduct in the program manager. Lynda’s coaching model was usually asked despite the fact that she was admired and respected by her pupils, who incidentally usually realized program needs. Cheryl Gieses stuck several phony written reprimands against her and Lynda was basically dismissed at the conclusion of the entire year 2009. Everybody away from “inner circle” i.E. Pupils, fellow-workers was informed that Lynda left to follow additional job choices but Lynda struggled intensely to keep her placement using the university and was merely compelled to decide.
Today for that devious area of the story… the individual hand-picked by Cheryl Gieses to displace Lynda Robbins was Margi Foley (LMT) of 2617 Zorno Method, Delray Beach Florida. Margi have been operating at Hand Beach State University being an adjunct massage teacher for several years and was regarded by several Cheryl’s “little pet”. Then when Lynda was dismissed Margi registered the prospect checklist for that massage teacher placement and experienced the hiring procedure with about four or five additional applicants. Listed here is where it gets interesting. Palm Beach State University demands that their teachers have atleast a-2-year degree. Margi Foley doesn't have any degree. Additionally, there have been accusations of sexual misconduct on Margi Foley’s account. Particularly it's supposed that she created an progress toward a committed pupil from the prior course. (you are able to study Margi Foley’s reaction to the accusations under)
Today I understand to get a proven fact that Palm Beach State University did a study into this claim, nevertheless the analysis lasted just two times and contains about three or four telephone calls. Does that seem like a comprehensive analysis? This could be considered a great illustration of “brushing anything underneath the rug”. Which is all recorded in Margi Foley’s worker document with Palm Beach State College. I'm sure the document is concealed within the super-secret secured file case at time.
And So I have three concerns:
1. Just how can an instructor (Lynda Robbins) who's admired and respected by her pupils (whom incidentally all obtained above the program needs) shed her work thus quickly?
2. Just how can an unqualified prospect (Margi Foley) who not need a-2-year college diploma and who'd accusations of creating sexual advances toward a committed pupil defeat out 4 additional fully-qualified applicants for that therapeutic massage teacher work at Hand Beach State University?
3. Why might Hand Beach State University wish to have unqualified massage specialist teachers with accusations of sexual misconduct on the team?
Finally, should you begin performing google queries on “margi foley” or “margi foley massage” you'll discover other annoying posts associated with her.

Re: Unknown Criticism
Shannon,
I'm composing this in reaction to our dialogue earlier today whereby an unknown criticism against me was resolved. Although I'm seriously upset regarding the criticism itself, I will guarantee you that none of the supposed allegations produced in the criticism have any value whatsoever.
I've browse the criticism many times and, while I'll tackle each particular claim, I would like to plainly suggest that the criticism seems to me to become an assault about the chance that I might be selected to load the entire-time placement presently readily available for an instructor within our plan.
It's my purpose to work completely in virtually any analysis concerning the accusations within the criticism and motivate one to talk to some of my present or previous pupils, in addition to my acquaintances, regarding my personality.in my opinion you'll discover that I perform myself with professionalism and take delight in my own capability to achieve this.
Although I understand that the criticism was created anonymously and, for me, that very reality increases suspicion regarding its credibility, a couple of things stick out and I'd prefer to tackle them in advance. First, and foremost, as the problem purports ahead from the “family member” of the “former student” within the therapeutic massage plan, particular terminology indicates in my experience the writer was carefully linked to the particulars of our program which may not be typical understanding to anybody beyond work within our division. The writer, while declaring to become talking with respect to a former pupil who finished long enough previously to possess finished our plan and handed the national board examination, referrals the present title of the faculty as PBSC (which we've just been recognized by by January 12) in the place of PBCC that was the title of the faculty in the period under consideration. Additionally, it properly references me as “a part time instructor…is being regarded to get a full time teacher position”. The criticism includes several referrals to inside specifics and explanations (i.E. “full-time laboratory instructor”, “program supervisor Sheryl Giese” which properly references her placement and properly means her extraordinarily spelled title, “student/instructor limitations were continuously being blurred”, “professional integrity”, “it could possibly be simplest to provide the positioning to Margi…. And knows protocols”, “state certification exam”) which may not function as the anticipated language of the “layperson”. Actually, while many of these specifics are properly recommended, it's extremely dubious the writer thought we would mean Lynda’s title improperly.
Moreover, as the criticism efforts to accuse me of unprofessional conduct, it appears to become as much, or even more, about Lynda Robbins and also the perception that “Linda didn't decide to abandon the faculty, but that she was terminated”. The problems behind Lynda’s starting haven't been mentioned, to my understanding, in something apart from common conditions, inside or beyond our division and definitely not with any pupil, present or former. A few of the pupils have delivered and requested about Lynda and we've merely informed them precisely what the criticism originally offers, that Lynda “would not be returning which she was selecting to depart the faculty and follow additional interests”.
It's my perception this criticism is just a thin cover from the negative worker or from somebody talking about account of same. It's also interested in my experience the criticism comes atleast eight weeks following the college of the final course being shown by Lynda Robbins and in the precise period that I'm being regarded for that upcoming full time position…also something which wouldn't be recognized to everyone. Moreover, I'm being made conscious of this criticism precisely two times after I'd a discussion with Charles Mindell, a other adjunct teacher, where he explained he'd voiced to Lynda in regards to a week before and mentioned together with her the truth that “the plan does several fresh, innovative issues and growing in several ways” which “everything really was coming together”. He also stated that he mentioned together with her the truth that she was daunting to a lot of students due to her firm objectives which more thwarted the imagination of the pupils. I can't ignore the time of the criticism just one week next dialogue.
That said, I'll tackle the particular accusations included in the criticism.
Firstly, if this criticism is, certainly, to become regarded, we are able to obtain the next info:
1. The criticism has been created with respect to a former pupil.
2. The student was section of a-class comprising a male, committed student.
3. The pupil who had been presumably “seduced” by me handed both program and also the national board examination and it is today an authorized massage therapist.
4. The pupil who had been presumably “seduced” by me happens to be committed and his spouse “continues to recommend to him he come forth….”
In my own brain, this could just make reference to pupils within the last two night courses by which I had been the teacher. Although I had been minimally active in the evening courses, I had been just existing occasionally after I was named directly into alternative or execute student assessments. I never had any continuing connection using the evening pupils until this Jan. Within the last two night courses, just two committed male pupils spring to mind, Edwin Joiner (561) 716-6569, and Mark Siedler (561) 715-8545. I'd motivate one to issue both of those two former students, in addition to some of my previous students, regarding these allegations and could be pleased to supply their contact info, if required.
I will say, positively, that I've never lured, propositioned, created improvements toward, or in virtually any additional method attacked any unprofessional connection with any pupil, man or woman, committed or solitary. I refuse every accusation included inside the criticism. I've never endangered, or deduced a risk, to any pupil he or she'd be failed by me for almost any cause, apart from educational or perhaps a disappointment to meet up the requirements of this program.
Apart from these allegations, I will discover no additional circumstances to deal with. Although I'm being charged of “seducing” students, you will find no particular illustrations showing this conduct on my component. Every additional declaration describes this student’s emotions and, I don't genuinely believe that I have to explain this criticism isn't being produced by the student who had been purported to have now been lured but, instead with a “relative” of the “former student” who's remembering the 3rd-palm occasions of still another pupil.
Although this criticism efforts to assassinate my personality and my title is described five times, Lynda’s title is described five times. The criticism actually sneaks within the chance of “bringing Linda back”. This really is, for me, not really a criticism concerning the sexual harassment of the pupil but, instead, the shortcoming of its writer to forget about yesteryear and of Lynda’s former participation within our plan. If this were truly about my personality might the writer not need had exactly the same issues about me training part-time within the plan? Am I merely a risk easily train full time? It's crazy in my experience that the individual might just bother about this sort of claim easily were to become employed total time while they create no recommendation that I actually be asked or disciplined or that I stop training part-time. All statements included in the criticism are equally misguided and unsubstantiated.
It's my sincere wish that his issue is likely to be managed quickly and sensibly. Please feel liberated to contact me with any more concerns or if you want any extra info.
I await your answer.
Really,
Marjorie E. Foley
