Georgetown Law has fired one white professor and placed another on administrative leave after a video of their discussion about a black student was condemned on social media.

Dean Bill Treanor announced on Thursday that the school had ended its relationship with Professor Sandra Sellers, 62, after the video showed her complaining on Zoom that black students were predominantly at the bottom of her class.

It isn’t racist if it’s true, is it?

[ThePatriotsFlag]

But if it is a fact? (they should re-read the Bell Curve)

There aren’t many white running backs in the NFL.

Fire Me!

If it’s true, one would think they’d look at the reasons why...like, maybe, the whole affirmative action stuff and pushing minorities through grade after grade after grade and not holding them accountable to the same standards. A lot of teachers cut them slack all the time for obvious reasons.

The will never admit any findings.

[AJFavish]

The article does not state whether the professor’s statement was inaccurate. Nor does the article state whether Georgetown Law School lowers admission standards for black applicants.

Sheila Jackson Lee went to college at Yale and to the University of Virginia, a top-ten law school, for law school. Need I say more?

When we have zoom meetings, they are more lecture/monologues though, I have a sticker over my camera & my microphone off. I don’t say a word until I have exited the meeting.

You cannot be too careful now.

Truths before Facts!

[Old Yeller]

So I guess we CAN’T have “that conversation” that we always hear about, because it would require having to address some truths.

[KevinB]

If there is a statistical correlation between race and low grades in this professor’s classes, my bet would be that the causality rests with the teacher s*cking and not with the students.

Please define "color" and "race" as used in your post. Please also tell us what subject you teach.

“Truth sounds like hate to those who hate truth.”

She said something that is not an insight, informs no listener, does not suggest a cause or a solution, is offensive to blacks, and mainly displays her bad attitude.

[Falconspeed]

Sellers is probably an affirmative action hire expressing her views about some affirmative action students. Boring.

The Jesuits gave Georgetown to affirmative action globalists in the 1970’s. The evangelical colleges, like Point Loma in San Diego, are fighting the good fight against globalists today.

I remember the UC Berkeley Student Body President telling me that recruiting minorities from underserved populations in Oakland and Los Angeles was a waste of time, since all student from underserved populations dropped out the first month. “Underserved” is just another term for “fatherless” and “clueless.”

‘Be careful not to say anything about anything or anyone. Then you will be allowed to exist in today’s United States.’

that’s pretty rich coming from someone who has come on here and bragged about turning covid violators into the authorities...

I just assumed blacks were always at the top of medical schools, dental schools and vetrinarian schools, because the commercials usually show black people as the doctors, and dentist and veterinarians. And it’s always white people depending on their sage advice as subservient so. They wouldn’t lie would they?

As an undergrad at Temple a couple decades ago, I was a fly on the wall in a conversation among the faculty of the computer science department. They were talking about their method of “bell curving” the grades. The raw data had an extreme bimodal distribution. The professors and their assistants would take the students from the lower half, and raise their grades to overlap the upper half, producing a nice single mode bell curve. They’d found that these students with promoted grades never completed their degrees, and usually didn’t finish the year, so it didn’t follow matriculating students. It was a way of placating the blacks (read: not getting the shit kicked out of yourself in the parking lot) without dumbing down the material. It was all done in the initial grading of assignments, so there was no recorded paper trail, unless there was a statistical analysis.

It was funny to go in to a calculus based probability course where a third of the students had their belts half way down their thighs.

Maybe Ebonics and legal terms don’t mix.

The entire “systemic racism” charade is nothing more than a diversion to try to explain the failures of the “black community”, without holding the black community to account for its own actions. A culture that values ignorance over education, degeneracy over dignity, and violence over civility will continue to fail until the end of time, no matter what “white people” do.

It’s as simple as that.

When I was in law school the black males in my class did well and I believe they all graduated and became successful. The black females on the other hand pretty much all failed out the first semester or left school. It was clear that they had no business being there (at least the ones in my class).

Law school is a different ball game.

I attended a well-regarded college and Georgetown Law School. You are right - college is like junior varsity, or even fresh/soph, football and law school, even a middle tier law school, is like varsity football. There is no way people who are admitted to law school through AA can thrive. A high percentage of them are either unable to pass the bar exam or barely pass the bar exam after a couple of tries and wind up working for the government or become community organizers.
