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.

Telling the truth earned Socrates a drink of hemlock.
I’m also thinking that the prof doesn’t realize that her black students are likely NOT dumb, but instead are pushed-forward, due to their skin color, in order to get the requisite diversity in the yearbook photos. To put it another way, having whites in her class who only had to meet the same standards as the blacks there would have given her the same results.
If she had discussed it from that angle, she still likely would have been fired, but the case against her wouldn’t have been as strong.
She was on a supposedly private Zoom call. Someone sold her out.
Never, never, never, never, never apologize for these "gotcha" moments! That's one of the things I like best about President Trump. He never apologizes.
She’s likely just as racist as every other liberal and slipped.
Georgetown Law should be stripped of its accreditation by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.
But then the MSCHE may be just as leftard racist as Georgetown Law.
I guess that ‘Double-Secret Probation’ was deemed insufficient in the face of this mob!
Steve Martin (as Socrates): No one told me that hemlock is poison!
Oh! So now not only does the speaker get punished, but anyone who heard the remarks too? i swear we have morphed into the DDR.
Time for all these fired professors to start their own university. The one with free speech.
lol........all them smart white supremacists?

I would. I’d take everything into court establishing what was said was the truth.
There is no strong case against her. This is witch trials levels of nonsense.
So very, very true.
The caption implies that Zoom sessions between teachers are recorded and archived. And some SJW’s decided to spend time reviewing recordings for “wrongthink” .
Paid zoom subscriptions have an option to automatically record, and store either locally or in the cloud.
Time to get out the excel spreadsheet and work up some Bell curves for your court case.
They can’t fire you for telling the truth.
I don’t teach at Georgetown but at a large midwestern state university in almost that exact tier — perhaps just a few rankings higher.
I sit this afternoon finishing grading nearly 300 essays of my graduate students. I have many students of color. It’s a different population obviously, but I suspect not all that different.
What this Georgetown prof writes is bunk. A myth. 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. A good professor would not have this problem.
The left relies on lies.
What's a “mistake” about it?
