Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  He wahine i mahi poto mo te tumuaki o te whare wānanga o Maine kua whakaekea he whakawa whakahāwea ki te kura, e kii ana i te mea e tika ana kia takaro ia ki te tēnehi, ki te oma me te matakitaki i nga kiriata chick me tana rangatira wahine. I tuhia e Sarah Hulbert, o Auburn, i roto i tana amuamu i rereke te maimoatanga ki a ia mai i ona hoa mahi tane i a ia e mahi ana hei kaiawhina whakahaere i te Bates College i Lewiston ka peia mo te 'kore pizzazz'. Ko te Sun Journal e kii ana ko te 59-tau-tau a Hulbert i mahi mo te Perehitini o Bates A. Clayton Spencer mo te iti ake i te marama i te raumati o te tau 2012. Ko te kaiawhina o mua ki te peresideni o Bates College a Clayton A. Spencer (i te whakaahua) e kii ana i peia ia e te perehitini na te mea kaore ia i mahi tahi me ia, kaore ranei i matakitaki i nga kiriata chick. I roto i te kerēme, ka tuhituhi a Hulbert: 'Ko te kaiwhakahaere o te kaituku, te tumuaki o Bates College, (A. Clayton Spencer) i tumanako ki te kaituku, hei tikanga mo tana mahi, ki te uru atu ki nga mahi me te tumuaki, penei i te oma, nga akoranga tēnehi me te matakitaki i nga kiriata chick, kaore i hiahiatia e te tumuaki mo nga kaimahi tane i roto i te ahua rite.' I kii a Hulbert kua pa ki a ia he ngaronga tahua me te ngaronga tangata na te 'whakapae ira tangata' me te rapu utu mo te kino i te whakawakanga a te kaiwhakawa. E kii ana a Hulbert i pohehe ia i a ia e tono ana mo te mahi i te whare o Spencer i Winchester, Mass. 'I taua uiuinga, i kī mai a Ms. Spencer ki a au e tino nui ana tana uara ki te wā whaiaro e tika ana mō ngā kaimahi, ā, kāore e... whakawehi i taua wā whaiaro,' i tuhituhi a Hulbert i roto i tana amuamu. E kii ana a Hulbert i tana tiimata i tana mahi, i tumanako a Spencer kia oma tahi raua i te 5:30 o te ata engari kaore i taea na te mea i whakahohea ia i tana waewae matau i mua. I a Hulbert e tono ana kia kitea e Spencer tetahi hoa whakahaere rereke, 'i kii ia i te hiahia kia whakamatau ahau, engari i waiho e au te pehanga kia rere tahi me ia mena ka hiahia au ki te mahi tonu mo ia,' e kii ana a Hulbert. E kii ana a Hulbert i tono a Spencer ki a ia kia uru atu ki nga akoranga tēnehi engari i kii ano ia ka...
E kī ana a Sarah Hulbert i rerekē te āhua o tana mahi ki āna hoa mahi tāne i a ia e kaiāwhina whakahaere ana i te Whare Wānanga o Bates i Lewiston. E kii ana a Hulbert ko te Perehitini o Bates a A. Clayton Spencer i tumanako ia ki te omaoma, te purei teneti, me te matakitaki i nga kiriata chick. I kii te kaikorero a Bates i roto i tetahi korero 'ka tino kore te whare wananga e whakaae ki nga whakapae' ka tiakina e ia i te kooti.
