Fordham 'fires a white professor who mixed up names of black students'

Not the Babylon Bee, and the story is just as ridiculous as the headline implies
daily mail
quote:
Fordham University reportedly fired a white professor who mixed up the names of two black students in class and then sent an email to the students rambling about his 'innocent mistake.'
Christopher Trogan, 46, was fired from the university on October 25, The Fordham Observer recently reported. The former English professor allegedly mixed up the names of the two black students when they walked into the class late on September 24.
After class, Chantel Sims and another unnamed student emailed Trogan to express their frustration with the professor's mistake, explaining that they believed the mix-up was due to their skin color, according to the university paper.
Trogan responded by emailing the entire English class addressing the situation that he described as an 'innocent mistake,' which he blamed on a 'confused brain' because the students arrived to class while he was in the middle of teaching.
After his termination, Trogan sent an email again, this time a nine-page letter to his 80 former students explaining his view of what happened. The university has since told him to refrain from communicating with the students.

It seems as if the guy actually got fired for being too woke

Fordham Observer
Hard to feel bad for someone like this.
: quote:
Trogan encouraged students to relay any complaints to Dean of Fordham College at Lincoln Center (FCLC) Laura Auricchio, English Department Chair Mary Bly and other administrators.
Chantel Sims, FCLC ’25, was the other student involved in the name mix-up. Sims, who is also a member of The Observer’s reporting team, said she did not report Trogan to the administration so she felt like a lot of his action and communication seemed unnecessary.
quote:
“It seemed a little excessive, like all you needed to do was say sorry and it would have been fine,” she said. “We were not actually that upset about him mixing up our names. It was more so the random things he would throw into the response.”
In the email to students, Trogan assured students the course was “centered specifically and explicitly around issues of justice, equality, and inclusion,” and that he has devoted his “entire life” to these issues — describing his dedication to racial justice throughout his career in depth.
Sims said the section of the email that listed his credentials and “everything he has done for minorities” gave her the impression of a white savior complex. The other first-year student interviewed by The Observer agreed with this assessment.
quote:
Trogan concluded the email by stating he is willing to give up his position if the students feel like they have been discriminated against.
“Depending on your response to the officials above, I may — or may not — be your professor in class next week. It’s all up to you,” he wrote.
quote:
According to Trogan, in Badowska’s letter of termination, she did not focus on the original name mix-up. The email he sent to his students on Sept. 24 was the catalyst for termination. He also said Badowska ruled that he had not exhibited “proper development” from the Oct. 5 conversation, which also contributed to the decision.

Agreed. Good riddance. I thoroughly enjoy when the left eats its own.

He's part of the problem. I'm glad he was fired.

Nine page letter?
I hope he wasn’t a professor of English!
Oh, wait….
