Students Offered College Credit For Kavanaugh Protest Trip, Get Unwanted Surprise On Bus
2018-10-06
[MadWorldNews] Earlier this week, former economics and women and gender studies professor Susan Feiner discreetly promised her students at the University of Southern Maine college credit for taking a trip to Washington, D.C., for an opportunity to protest Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

In less than 24 hours, Feiner had organized the stealthy demonstration and loaded students up on a bus headed to the capital to support frivolous and unsubstantiated allegations that have utterly destroyed the entire Kavanaugh family. However, the day of the trip, Feiner and her gullible left-leaning students received an unwanted surprise courtesy of the university president.

According to The Blaze, USM officials discovered professor Susan Feiner’s promise to students of college credit for protesting Brett Kavanaugh hours before they arrived at their destination and immediately overruled her offer, making the students’ arduous 10-hour bus ride all for nothing.

University officials uncovered Feiner’s plan to offer her class extra credit for protesting against Kavanaugh, denouncing the professor’s partisan plot as "unacceptable" and informing students that they would not be receiving college credit for making the lengthy trip, the Press Herald reports.

"This pop-up course was hastily arranged in the past 24 hours, without the knowledge of the provost or myself. It was not appropriately reviewed nor went through proper channels," President Glenn Cummings said in a statement to the Press Herald. "As soon as the provost and I were apprised of the course, we immediately pulled the one-credit offering. We also made sure that no USM monies were being used for the trip."

"Dr. Feiner acted in a very rogue manner," Cummings added to the Press Herald. "Her behavior was inappropriate. It was unacceptable."

Strangely enough, a common SCOTUS tactic.

They get cushy little sinecures as college professors with little or no adult supervision, they get caught up in the echo chamber and they act without consequences.

#1  Notice that they did not pull the credit because of the nature of the trip, but only because she did not follow the right procedure. If the professor had follow the proper process I'm sure it would have been approved.
