#1 I don't suppose this would ever cause the staff at Boston U to take another look at her credentials would it? Perhaps even checking if the school she claims exists - even calling them and getting verification?

Didn't think so...

#2 No, that's not how you fight this. What you do is get 3 or 4 students that the teacher has ridiculed together and file a class action suit, stating that the university has created a hostile learning environment by allowing her to teach. If they're all one sex, you can even go Title IX and get the Dept of Edu involved.

#3 Another example that 'intellect' does not exist in these institutions.

#4 Ed, nonsense. Prof Grundy is a member of two protected groups. The DOE only protects members of protected groups. They wouldn't even acknowledge the complaint.

Any white male who takes a course from her is just asking for trouble.

#5 ...you mean sort of like radical gay couples going into a bakery of a devout Christian and demanding a wedding cake?

#8 Boston has a pretty vile history of recent racism 70s at least) with tipping over school buses and such to prevent integrated schools. I think the left of the left (LOL) wants radicals like her to atone for those sins.

Short of murder I suspects she keeps her job. They might reconvene to consider until the heat passes but they want the flagelation. .

#9 After several alumni complaints, Boston University president Robert Brown condemned the racist tweets.

That explains it all; starts at the top.

#10 sadly, Boston U is not unique in its quota driven hiring - in fact such hiring is normalistic
