Life has become extremely complex in the University of New Mexico's English department in the three years since Lisa D. Ch??vez, a tenured associate professor, was discovered moonlighting as the phone-sex dominatrix "Mistress Jade," and posing in promotional pictures sexually dominating one of her own graduate students....

Several members of the English department accuse Ms. Ch??vez of abusing her power over students, and allege that the administration retaliated against professors who complained about her extracurricular activities....

For her part, Ms. Ch??vez has accused her accusers, in complaints to the university and the state, of discriminating against her because she is bisexual and Hispanic.
