Alexander LeBrae

Alexander LaBrae is the Associate Chairman of the English Department and Amanda's boss at Haswell University.

He is married to Sylvia LaBrae, the ringleader of the Professor's Wives clique. Alexander is first shown in Amanda's classroom, telling Amanda that she has to get tenure in order to keep her job at the university. While talking to her, Alexander tries (but fails) to hit on her. He doesn't like Amanda because Amanda is very beautiful and popular with her students, and he is afraid that she might steal his job. He is shown again in the party scene where he meets Amanda with Redmon. Redmon tires hard to get accquainted with Alexander but the characters ruin his conservation with him. Alexander and Sylvia's marriage is put to the test when Sylvia falls in love with Redmon and falls all over him. Luckily, their relationship doesn't get strained in the end.
