This is what happens when your country opens department of war and dismantles department of education. It will only get dumber

A university's entire job is to manage their reputation, and this is the choice they made.

Like, they’re a university. Fascists will always hate them because they see themselves as the only arbiters of truth. Nothing is true unless a conservative says so!

Congratulations, she gets what she wanted AND gets to play martyr something chuds will do regardless.

"University of Oklahoma" didn't start with a spotless reputation... It sounds like an oxymoron

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 9 points 3 hours ago

Genuinely sounds like it should be a school for cows

Football schools are moving away from being schools and are trying to become NFL teams

In 10 years all American universities will be sports franchises with a side hustle in pay-to-win “education”

[–] Hyper_red@hexbear.net 1 points 23 minutes ago

No half will be sports, half will be hedge funds

Absolutely disgusting.

What's the situation here?

[–] Euergetes@hexbear.net 28 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

it's a Turning Point frameup with a wannabe grifter who turned in an uncited dogshit transphobic essay in a psych class, then they barked at the admin and media to try and get the instructor fired. looks like it worked.

they posted the essay online, it does not follow the rubric, it sucks, this incident is engineered to target professors teaching anything insane creationists disagree with. the OU faculty are cowards of the highest order if they let this go.

Holy shit. They are going to start citing the Mein Kampf in American Papers now.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 2 points 1 hour ago

wtf is a citation

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 18 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I'm curious, too. Is this the school where the student got a 0 on a paper for writing about how gay and trans people are terrible and sinful and ruining America, or something like that, using no academic backing whatsoever, let alone any sources but the bible?

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 19 points 3 hours ago

She didn't even cite the Bible properly and only really mentioned one specific phrase. She talked about things being "biblical" or not but didn't actually support her point with Bible passages either. This could be a theology class run by conservatives and she should still fail.

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 10 points 3 hours ago

Yeah that's the one

[–] anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 45 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Soooooo University of Oklahoma degrees are pretty much worthless now, right?

No they used to have some pretty good meteorology department and some other shit that was world class.

But that won't matter in 10 years when their reputation is in the toilet

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 25 points 6 hours ago

This should be a big embarrassment but really it only shows just how little they care about teaching assistants and that's probably not a big surprise to anyone.
