College Insurrection Tag

Professor Nancy Shurtz of the University of Oregon is in hot water right now over her choice to dress as a black man for a campus Halloween party. In her defense, she claims she chose the costume based on a book she liked called "Black Man in a White Coat" which was written by a black doctor. As someone who covers college news on a daily basis, I have to wonder how the professor didn't know this would cause huge problems for her. Paul Caron of the TaxProfBlog shared a letter to Shurtz from 23 Oregon law professors calling on her to resign:
Dear Colleague, If these allegations are true, and you did in fact wear blackface to a Halloween party, you need to resign.
