Another instructor removed by University of Oklahoma amid protest over student’s failing gradeAnother instructor at the University of Oklahoma has been removed amidst the controversy over one student’s failing grade.The most recent educator to be removed from the classroom allegedly told students that they would be excused for attending Friday’s protest of the removal of the teaching assistant at the heart of the controversy.The move was first reported by OU Nightly, which explained that the instructor told students she would excuse any absence for attending the protest. When asked by a student if attending a counter-protest would qualify, the instructor reportedly said it had to be an organized protest.There were no such protests on Friday, according to OU Nightly, and the student told the student-run outlet that he filed a complaint with the university.Director of First-Year Composition Dr. Roxanne Mountford called the lecturer’s attendance policy “inappropriate.”A statement from the university said the instructor “allegedly demonstrated viewpoint discrimination by excusing students who intended to miss class to attend a protest on campus, but not extending the same benefit to students who intended to miss class to express a counter-viewpoint.”…Students had gathered on Friday to protest the decision to put a graduate student on leave after giving undergraduate student Samantha Fulnecky a failing grade on her essay, which cited the Bible to assert that the “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.”The assignment was for a psychology class about lifespan development. Students were asked to write a 650-word response to an academic study that examined whether conformity with gender norms was associated with popularity or bullying among middle school students.
