The "trauma" of George Floyd's death prevented them from doing well on their exams.

LINK

quote:

Klein replied that he had no idea which students were black, because the course was online


quote:

Gordon Klein, a professor of accounting at the UCLA's Anderson School of Business, rejected a request from a group of non-black students for leniency for their black peers. He quoted Martin Luther King and told them: 'Remember that MLK famously said that people should not be evaluated based on the "color of their skin". Do you think that your request would run afoul of MLK's admonition?' The dean of the school described Klein's response as 'troubling'.

It’s troubling that the dean finds this troubling

How dare he judge someone by the content of their work and not the color of their skin!!!!

Also, does anyone else find it exceptionally condescending that a group of non-black students asked for the black students? If they were so troubled, couldn’t they just ask themselves?

The liberal communist are now turning on their own kind.

Kids want everything handed to them for free and the liberal professors are wondering what is wrong now? Idiots.

Agree. That's racist as hell. They're saying black people can't perform under stress.

Police Department reportedly has an increased police presence outside Klein's home after multiple threats, which were made after a student, Emilia Martinez, posted an email exchange online.

So, he's being literally and directly threatened, yet the "non black students" are are mad at him for not respecting a fellow black student perceived threat and "trauma" due to someone dying they never heard of before.

Had a former friend get his PhD in sociology at UCLA That bundle of academic integrity used to pass to basketball players for similar reasons, when he was a GA/TA there. Korean kid from palm springs, who went to an elite out of state prep school. Privilege personified.

It scares me how we have gone straight to Idiocracy in such a short time. I knew it would happen, but figured we had at least 20 years.
