From ‘safe spaces’ to coddling cheaters …
When enough was enough, a frustrated professor at Texas A&M Galveston sent a lengthy email to his whole class explaining why everyone would get a failing grade.
After what he described as a semester of disrespect, backstabbing, lying, and cheating, professor Irwin Horwitz sent his Strategic Management class an email calling them a disgrace to the university and informing them that everyone would be failed. Horwitz claimed the class lacked the maturity to enter the workforce, and that in his two decades as a professor he’s never dealt with a class as unruly and disrespectful as this one,
It became apparent that they couldn’t do some of the most simple and basic things they should have been able to do.
I was dealing with cheating, dealing with individuals swearing at me both in and out of class, it got to the point that the school had to put security guards at that class and another class.
This class is unique. I have never failed a class, it is very rare that I fail students, sometimes learning incorporates tough love.
Dr. Patrick Louchouarn, Vice President of Academic Affairs, has said that Horwitz’s threat is premature as the course has not ended. Until then, the head of the department will be replacing Horwitz as professor for the course.
Isn’t that special!
University of Texas has no admission standards really they let any old piece of shit in as long as daddy pays up
for reals it’s true
My college professors were not exactly Kingfields but, I could not imagine talking back to even the worst ones or any of the grad students.
Everything you ever needed to know about trigger warnings and safe areas
I wanted to yell at that one socialist professor, but I had this weird notion that grown men couldn’t be intimidated into changing grades.
I went to college 30 years too early.
Hamsters can’t distinguish between the University of Texas and Texas A&M Galveston.
at least hamsters can distinguish between their butt and their face, buttface
microaggression
HF, I crap bigger’n you.
Maybe the thing was that I understood that the teaching staff was all smarter than me. Maybe today you are not that sure they are all that bright or you are dumb enough to think you are smarter than them.
oh that’s mature
“butthead” “crap” you two are getting into macroagression territory.
oh geez feces envy
Fuck slewfoot, but especially his enablers.
> his enablers<
go little debbies
Can’t a man quote Curly from City Slickers without being accused of macroaggression?
I can’t make a joke? May be a poor shot a humor but, I think I have enough credibility here to get the benefit of the doubt.
Struck me funny to see happy talk of maturity but, he may have been going for the irony, or not, who knows. I know the movie reference. I won the office movie quiz last week admittedly in a weak field.
I hope I am not being accused of being an enabler. Outside of this place I don’t know happy feet from Pikachu.
“Guys, guys, fighting’s out of style! Fun’s where the fair’s at… in the future!”
I assume every single person on this thread is joking, given the dire situation – we’re beyond mere gallows-humor and into the exciting realm of got the rope around our neck and waiting for the trapdoor to open-humor.
I heard say the executioner was very good, and I have a little neck
I’m not joking.
I can’t joke in response to a joke and not be accused of not getting the joke?
What is this, Saturday Night Live?
You should have heard that last in Jon Lovitz’s voice.
Help, I’m a Fish
Help, I’m a Frosh
It’s OK, this joke is on me.
Do I look like I am joking?
“What’s my name? Fuck you. That’s my name.”
Or words to that effect.
