| Overall: F | | The
Michigan State University School of Social Work is a social
work program with a bad reputation. John Herrick is the
Associate Director of a program in which administrators have a
self-serving agenda which they promote at all costs. Similar to
a big city restaurant that operates illegal activities in the
back, the School of Social Work has an agenda far
different from their stated goals, objectives, and purpose. They present
an image of being for social work values and for
social justice. The reality is they have an agenda of
rollbacks in which professors use university money to take expensive
and unnecessary vacations. The Director of the School of Social
Work used to be a figurehead named Marilyn Flynn, but
was replaced by another figurehead named Gary Anderson. This is
a guise because John Herrick is the ring leader of
this corrupt bunch. John Herrick navigates this pack of grifters
through a whole series of unscrupulous and unethical acts, the
likes of which are beyond comparison in higher education. John
Herrick is out of control and there is no limit
on his indulgence. Confronting him, in fact, only elicits arrogant
snobbery as he nefariously crinkles his nose and thrusts it
upward and away with a leering cockiness. He trumpets and
parades his base reputation with such a smug air of
confidence that he caricatures himself. John Herrick will falsify documents,
backdate letters, and engage in slander to maximize his outcomes.
Hurting students is by far the most egregious of John
Herrick’s acts. John Herrick will blacklist students who raises a
voice against his corrupt practices and then torpedo their chances
of success. Minority students are the most likely to fall
victim to his dishonesty. John Herrick’s vacations are probably the
most visible example of his wrongdoing. These vacations are arrangements
in which MSU money is bankrolled into a members-only slush
fund used for John Herrick and his cronies to take
lavish and exorbitant vacations to other countries. The overhead costs
are outrageous and stand in opposition to the values and
mission of social work. John Herrick will act upright and
polite in the first weeks of the semester, when students
are still considering their enrollment, but this innocuous facade manifests
itself into something dirty and ugly as the semester progresses.
One eventually sees professors and administrators choosing favorites and treating
many students like dirt. Some students experience dirty looks and
utterances of contempt. Others experience unfair academic advising and some
are completely rubbed out of the program. John Herrick heads
a program full of unprofessionalism, misappropriation, and flagrancy which should
be avoided at all costs. | | | Student Competency: Average

remember the long “review” at the beginning of this form
is the exact same appraisal, almost word for word, that
this “student” left on most of the other Social Work
Professors' rating forms. I see that they managed to have
them removed or else the above “student” is not updating
negative reviews to theirs as he is to this document. | | | Student Competency: Average

| Overall: A | | He
was well loved by the students but all of these
negative comments by some expelled student are bogus because Dr.
Herrick was NOT teaching at all but has been an
administrator, a Director of the School of Social Work and
then the Associate Dean of the College of Social Science
for many years. Several of us who are minority grad
students chose him as our doctoral advisor, so the other
reviewer sure tells nasty lies. The blatant untruths about dishonesty
are truly vicious. I cannot believe there is not a
libel suit by Dr. Herrick, the department or the university
when I came across this crap on Google. Unbelievable! | | | Student Competency: Average

comments about this professor,the School of Social Work and MSU
are all false. When he says 'others' are “rubbed out

in retaliation for getting kicked out? Hmmmmmm. It's all too
obvious. That's the trouble with this anonymous posting format. It
can be used out of anger and it does not
help those that want accurate information. | | | Student Competency: Average

| Overall: A | | I
did a Google search to find an article published by
Dr. John Herrick, my professor more than 30 years ago,
and to my horror I found as his first entry
from an obvious phony imposter who was counseled out or
(as someone else figured out) by what he/ she let
slip…“rubbed out†of the graduate program in the School of
Social Work. Dr. Herrick could not have “taught†this
student at all because, as the student states, Gary Anderson
was the Director at the time and this would mean
that Dr. Herrick was in the Dean’s office and had
to make a final decision about the student’s removal from
the university. Obviously faculty had concerns about the mental stability
of this individual to work with clients or the grades
were not at a level expected of a grad student.
Given the level to which this student lied about Dr.
Herrick, the school and the university—I think it must be
the former. When I was a student, John Herrick had
speakers who reflected diversity and he was always open to
differing points of view. He was brilliant and classes were
never boring. I can say I learned more from him
than any other professor I’ve ever had. His lectures were
thorough and he was always well prepared. He has a
great sense of humor and well liked by his students.
Many of his former students are now professors, legislators, a
US senator, and many community leaders both in this country
and around the world. It is very disgusting that someone
can post a lengthy diatribe anonymously and no one can
combat this gossip once it’s spread. It seems like there’s
no cure for this kind of infection! I’d sign my
name, but the person who wrote this pollution is vindictive
and I’d hate to be the NEXT target! | | | Student Competency: Average
