Personally, I’d ignore it and just keep doing what I’m doing. That’s just me.
Sounds like they’re intimidated. It happens everywhere tbh. In my opinion, the more you ignore it the worse it could get. Stand up for yourself.
If you take offense to it, it will hang over your head. Take it as a compliment. You love what you teach and you're passionate about it.
I didn't teach at the college level but at the high school level a lot of the teachers were burnt out - maybe they're just a bit envious of your energy and enthusiasm.
Personally I'd be offended they don't want to respect me as a peer but also acknowledge they're jealous of me. I once had a professor like 10 years older than me when I was in college who all the women in class used to say was really hot (as a straight guy myself, it was justified. Nothing wrong with acknowledging someone's looks). I never once heard from any of the other students anything negative about him, though maybe I was just in a good crowd. My recommendation is watch your back in case they try to pull a fast one on you but keep doing your own thing
They're definitely just jealous of you. Keep shining, my guy. Don't let anyone else tell you need to be shining less brightly than you do and be smaller than you are.
That sounds like jealousy but take it as a compliment anyways. So many tenured professors just focussing on research, with teaching as an afterthought, keep that passion for teaching!
Sounds like insecurity and jealousy tbh. I would actually make an effort to be kind to them. Often times people say things like this when they are unfamiliar with someone because it is okay to talk bad about someone you don't know. By building rapport with them and finding commonalities to connect with them you can often make a seemingly negative situation go in your favor.
The trick is you have to be genuine. By honestly looking for ways to connect you build relationships. The more positive relationships you build in any work environment, the easier it makes your life.
