A white Georgetown Law professor was fired Thursday after getting caught on video belittling black students during a Zoom call with a colleague, saying they “usually” perform “just plain at the bottom” of her classes.
Georgetown Law Dean Bill Treanor said he was “appalled” by the conversation between now-terminated adjunct professor Sandra Sellers and another faculty member, David Batson, who was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.
“I informed Professor Sellers that I was terminating her relationship with Georgetown Law effective immediately,” Treanor wrote in a statement released Thursday afternoon. “During our conversation, she told me that she had intended to resign. As a result of my decision, Professor Sellers is no longer affiliated with Georgetown Law.”

When I reported for first year orientation at my Ivy League law school, some of my white classmates and I were shocked to find out that our black and Hispanic classmates had been on campus for a week taking seminars on how to study, take exams, etc. Nobody was kidding themselves. These students (with a few obvious exceptions) were not as qualified and prepared as their non-minority peers.
On an earlier thread, someone posted a list of political contributions apparently by the fired adjunct professor (someone with that name which can hardly be a common one)—all either to Democratic candidates or to left-wing organizations.
“As a result, it would be impossible for this professor to discriminate against any particular race, at least in connection with grading. I am curious how she knew who were the lower ranked students.” - You are spot on. I would love to better understand how she knew the class rank of the black students or was this available after grading? Blinded merit based grades are a real measuring stick that isn’t racially tainted.
Exactly...if her comment was factual, is it a complaint or an observation?
Universities don’t like people pointing out that the net result of Affirmative Action is admitting unprepared and unqualified students who will fail.
Affirmative Action harms the kids it’s supposed to help, by tossing them into situations where they cannot compete, whereas they could make it at another school.
It’s like tossing the average person into an NFL defensive line.
