Economics professor accused of ‘hostile learning environment’ for assigning male authors

A 22-year old female University of Utah student reported her business professor to campus administrators for, among other things, assigning too many historical texts written by influential male economists of the past.
“I understand the importance of studying the work of those before us and the importance of context,” wrote the student in a complaint to the university’s bias reporting system, where she labeled the professor’s transgressions “derogatory,” “degrading,” and “intimidating,” thereby causing a “hostile learning environment.”
The report also accused the professor of frequent sexist language, but the bulk of the complaint centered on his assigned readings for the business course.
“I believe it to no longer be necessary when teaching the foundations of our country’s economic system and those who helped build [its] ideals to be presented in conjunction with their sexist beliefs that have already planted their roots within our global and local communities,” the student stated in her complaint, filed in December 2018 and recently obtained by The College Fix through a public records act request.

Can she provide a list of female economists of historical merit? Are there ANY historical female economists?

Imagine being so upset over something dead people did that you essentially want your teacher to not be able to make a living over it.
The level of dissonance from reality required is staggering.

There is a manual out there somewhere that provides these libtards with trigger language to use when complaining.
She basically used stupid phrases because economics has a lot of men to cover historically.
Wtf?

I mean that is part of the plan. They don’t even try to hide it.
Eliminating the study of history is a foundation of establishing a socialist state.
Also, how did the university reply?

How in the world does an undergrad with limited knowledge of the subject get to dictate what’s important and what isn’t for the curriculum? Re-goddam-diculous

Hopefully they refund her tuition, disenroll her due to her self identification as unable cognitively compete with her peers, and encourage her to use the time off to assess the weaknesses of her argument.

How many male economists are now thinking about publishing under a female pseudonym.
Hey wait a minute! That transphobic piece of shite student! How dare she assume an author’s gender based just on the “maleness” of their name!

From the article, these are the words of the female who filed the complaint to the "bias response team"
That belongs in the Snowflake Hall of Fame
quote:
[My] professor’s behavior and certain choice of text have greatly affected me both emotionally and academically.”
She continued that she began to “fear” his sexist banter and said she “also began to fear the readings and I could not even finish one assigned reading due to its clear sexist message.”

Is bmy a female economics student at The University of Utah?

This is why so many yutes embrace collectivism today,
they are not taught history or geopolitical context of the various systems.
Here is someone willing to teach it but the student is refusing the material.

She's failing the course and trying to find a way to not have to take responsibility for it.
