"Behavior in the class did not rise to the level of harassment or discrimination, the student said, although many students stopped paying attention in class and complained about Venkatesan to Cormen. Students believed that Venkatesan did not accept opinions contrary to her own and would lower the grades of students who disagreed with her, the student said. The median grade in the class was a B, according to the Registrar’s website. All other sections of Writing 5 had a median grade of B+ or higher that term."

These kids paid good money to have to sit through this woman's little temper tantrums, perhaps they are just as entitled to countersue her back.

you are right, they paid money for an education and she mistook her position as professor as instant validation of her views.
