The former Manhattan college professor who threatened to “chop” up a Post reporter while holding a machete to his neck appears to have secured a new teaching gig.
Shellyne Rodriguez is listed as an adjunct instructor at the Cooper Union
in the East Village and appears on the fall semester schedule as teaching
a sculpture class.
A spokesperson for Cooper Union did not immediately respond when asked to confirm Rodriguez’s employment status.
Rodriguez was fired from her roles as a professor at both Hunter College
and the School of Visual Arts after she was caught threatening and then
chasing a veteran Post reporter with a machete on May 23.
She was charged with harassment and menacing following the violent
encounter which began when the scribe and a photographer knocked on the
door of her Bronx apartment to get comment on a viral video featuring the professor.
Rodriguez was caught on the video cursing and yelling at a group of Hunter students who set up a table with anti-abortion pamphlets and materials on
May 2.
“You’re not educating s–t. This is f—ing propaganda,” she snapped, tossing
the papers onto the floor. “What are you going to do, like anti-trans
next?”
After the video made the rounds online, the Post journalists knocked on
the door of her Bronx apartment on May 23 to ask for her side of the
story.
Instead, Rodriguez came out armed with a machete which she quickly held to
the reporter’s throat, alarming video shows.
“Get the f–k away from my door or I’m gonna chop you up with this
machete!” Rodriguez shouted before retreating back inside.
The pair left the building but Rodriguez soon came after them and chased
them down the street while wielding the machete, according to footage of
the encounter.
“If I see you on this block one more f—ing time, you’re gonna…,” she began yelling. “Get the f–k off the block! Get the f–k out of here, yo!”
Hours after the video of her shocking actions was published, Hunter
College fired her and she was later charged with harassment, menacing and weapons possession — all of which she pleaded not guilty to.
The College Fix first reported the news of Rodriguez’s new professor job.

If I, a person of European descent had done what Ms Rodriguez did, my
teaching credentials would have been pulled so fast without any chance of appealing the decision.
My only saving grace would be that I'm a WOMAN of European descent and
could blame my actions on the "patriarchy" oppressing me despite having
equal rights and for the most part equal opportunity.
I still can't find a hospital that will give me medical privileges even
though I have absolutely no training in that field, so welp, I won't be
given the chance to do brain surgery, so I will now claim that equal opportunity is a sham.
Shame on Cooper Union.
How much is the going rate for for the integrity of your school?
Whatever you paid was way too much.

You dont need any credentials to be an adjunct professor. You just need to
get them to agree to hire you.
