Indiana University has announced that it will offer alternative courses and"double-blind grading" in an effort to quell students' concerns amid reports that a business school professor repeatedly used his social media accounts to espouse"racist, sexist and homophobic views."
On Nov. 7, a Twitter account belonging to Rasmusen linked to an article titled"Are Women Destroying Academia? Probably." With the article link, the account tweeted a line from the piece, saying"geniuses are overwhelmingly male because they combine outlier high IQ with moderately low Agreeableness and moderately low Conscientiousness."
She assured students that they would not be forced to take Rasmusen's classes and that they would be provided alternatives. According to the school's website, Rasmusen, who has taught at the business school since 1992, is a professor of business economics and public policy as well as an adjunct professor of economics.
In an email to students and faculty of the business school Wednesday, Dean Idie Kesner echoed Robel's sentiments, calling the remarks and beliefs tweeted by Rasmusen"reprehensible,""hurtful" and"abhorrent."
😮?
Is he actually all these things? Or was this another SJW outrage?
And why not? He should be anybody else would be so why not him ? Are they going to allow him to do that? So he gets away with it then 😡 that is not right
shecameundone WHAT is wrong with this dude?
Good ol America always stand with its racist representatives
Provost write up here
Funny he's pissy about having to do blind grading.
Hard to believe People like this teach young adults... 😡😡
Indiana University, that's not good enough. Fire that man for workplace harassment. He is a danger to your students and University.
Cause there's room on Trump's cabinet?
Well I certainly wish the my First Amendment rights would be given consideration. This guy is pretty lucky!
How far we have fallen...
Awesome. Now he will continue to get paid for like half the grading he had before
🙄
I could've used a teacher that would turn a blind eye. Two blind eyes would've been even better.
he isn’t wrong
shades of William Shockley, Stanford professor and Nobel Prize winner; his belief, black Americans suffered from dysgenesis and/or retrogressive evolution..it will never end
UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE! Should be FIRED!
The admin muckety-mucks are probably planning on giving him a raise & a promotion. That counts as “double-blind.”
The university is required to give them an alternative to this Nazi. And I love how he calls himself a conservative. Pretty much fuels the conservative = racist, sexist, homophobe narrative huh?
Was curious to see what he wrote. But nothing is shown in the article. So I guess this headline is for outrage and outrage alone.
Shame he should be fire
Every Black, Gay, Muslim, Brown, and Female students should withdraw from his classes.
I think this say a lot about the level of education provided at IndianaUniv, apparently they’re behind the times.
Indiana University announced that it will offer alternative courses and 'double-blind grading' in an effort to quell students' concerns over professor who posted racist, sexist tweets.😏🇺🇸❤️💋
Free speech versus asshole 🤨
This guy could not be reached for comment
The academic ivory tower is the only place that gets free speech. Make those same comments in any other occupation and he would be fired. Tenure needs to go.
Well if it’s ok to teach socialism as being good for our country, then racism is ok too This is where progressiveness leads Dumb dems
Why?
I would say my kids won’t go there, but to be honest, who would really send their kid there anyway?
Tenure sometimes fail:( it will be interesting to see what faculty handbook says if there is low numbers in his class. Feel sorry for the students.
Completely unacceptable...he needs to be fired.
Must be a DemoRat.
Wut. Freedom of speech means you can’t be arrested. Not that your employer can’t fire you. This is unreal.
No credit now. Got to be smarter than that
Ok, that's bullshit
He should be fired!
Firing him is better.
IndianaUniv not good enough
Epstein didnt kill himself
There's always also the choice of not taking his classes or attending a different school.
Now if we could just get to prosecuting fake hate crimes....
says a lot about the school
👎🏼IndianaUniv
Indian hasn’t been worth a shit since they fired Bob Knight!!!
Old news, you guys suck
She never got fired
Choose another school to attend.
Just don’t sign up for his classes. I feel bad for those already enrolled
IU, doing a great job preparing young adults for real life.....
I might not like what the hell he is saying but, freedom of speech bitches!
Thank goodness that Indiana University honors FREE SPEECH on private accounts, even if that speech is abhorrent to some or many.
A rare victory for free speech.
Isn't there an exception to Freedom of Speech, such as falsely crying fire in a crowded theatre. In this case stirring racism and misogyny.
You left, “Some Say” out of the headline.
Or you could fire him for cause
More technical issues with the Democrats' most ambitious android yet.
Have him protest social injustice... then he will get fired, shunned, excommunicated.
Old news
ABC this is old news. Is any reporters working today?
Of course
We got your back Professor
Disgraceful he is teaching anyone
Double Blind Grading and Double Secret Probation.
PeteButtigieg I wanted you to see this. For me this is unacceptable. If people are fired in schools for being gay, why is this any different? We have too many double standards.
I often wish I had superpowers. Articles like this remind me I'm too vindictive to be a hero so its probably best I'm a mere mortal.
Won’t those administrative fixes raise tuition costs for students?
My opinion, this is not a matter of Freedom of Speech . This is a Student’s expectation to be treated equally and fairly by every Teacher on Campus.
Something tells me this dude went through a bad divorce 😂 No one becomes a conservative unless: 1) they've been brainwashed by religion from a young age or 2) their life sucks - either personally or professionally - and they need to blame someone for their own shittiness.
