UCLA drops case against prof who refused to make tests easier for black students

Blacks think it's racist to not give them special treatment!!!


sep 15 2020 UCLA has reinstated a professor who was suspended over the "tone" of an email to a student who wanted him to ease up on his grading and requirements for black students during protests of the death of George Floyd.

The professor, Gordon Klein, refused to postpone exams for black students, arguing "special treatment" would "run afoul" of Martin Luther King Jr.'s admonition not to judge people based on the color of their skin.

The student who emailed Klein wanted extended deadlines, shorter exams and a policy "that would ensure an exam could only help, not harm, a student’s grade," FIRE said.

The student later sent a note to Klein thanking the professor.

But UCLA put Klein on leave, and Dean Antonio Bernardo told the university that Klein had "a disregard for our core principles," calling his email was an "abuse of power."
