Soon to be a college graduate-----Professor Accused Of "Hostile Learning Environment" For Assigning Male Authors | Zero Hedge

Professor Accused Of "Hostile Learning Environment" For Assigning Male Authors | Zero Hedge
"A 22-year old female University of Utah student reported her business professor to campus administrators for, among other things, assigning too many historical texts written by influential male economists of the past.

“I understand the importance of studying the work of those before us and the importance of context,” wrote the student in a complaint to the university’s bias reporting system, where she labeled the professor’s transgressions “derogatory,” “degrading,” and “intimidating,” thereby causing a “hostile learning environment.”
The report also accused the professor of frequent sexist language, but the bulk of the complaint centered on his assigned readings for the business course. (she can't even write one cogent sentence!
“I believe it to no longer be necessary when teaching the foundations of our country’s economic system and those who helped build [its] ideals to be presented in conjunction with their sexist beliefs that have already planted their roots within our global and local communities,” the student stated in her complaint, filed in December 2018 and recently obtained by The College Fix through a public records act request.
...The report does not cite the scholars assigned in the business course, although typical economists discussed in such a class might include Adam Smith, Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek.
The student continued: Many of these figures are of great importance. But at what cost do we continue to plant the seed of sexism in the minds of individuals? But especially in a course and college that is already deemed to be a ‘boys club’continuing those teachings, and those teachings being delivered by a professor of [his] character is dangerous.”
“As a top university in the nation, I believe we have a duty to lead by example. Pave a new path and right the wrongs of those before us..."
Read on...if you can stomach her madness.
