Fired for doing job while trans. Bleak.
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
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”
No half will be sports, half will be hedge funds
Every academic should be raising hell about this; in a better country, the whole faculty there would be on strike until this person was reinstated. I haven't heard a peep from FIRE or any of the other "academic freedom" people who are constantly freaking out about "conservative representation" on campus. 
I live in Europe now, but all my academic friends from back in the states where I'm from fucking hates working for football schools once nil started
They started getting budget cuts and shit instantly
A lot of American schools are going to be killed by private equity trying to turn college football into the NFL
I did a post-doc at one of the schools that's supposed to be both a really good school and a really good football school, and yeah I can confirm that it fucking sucks to work there. Even at an R1, sports comes first for basically all admins (and many students).
I left my previous American university and fled to Europe once history was beginning to be cut and because I'm trans I predicted all this shit happening
NFL but the athletes don't get paid.
No they get paid now
Millions
It's why for instance jmu needs to keep increasing their "athletics fee"
No they get paid now
Millions
Amerikkkans have no middle ground between basically slavery and this. 
This is the economy
But the reality is these kids should have been getting paid before
None of the issues arise from kids getting paid
It's more so starts in the late 80s when the university of Oklahoma sued the NCAA In supreme court case over university athletics broadcast rights
OU won and since then athletic conferences have been condensing and forming into super leagues trying to rival the NFL
The Oklahoma University chapter of the American Association of University Professors put out a statement in support of the TA:
Essentially, nothing is new here. OU claims without providing any supporting or specific reasons why Mel Curth was removed. They have claimed in the past in press releases that this was due to supposed and disturbing claims of “religious discrimination” that clash with academic freedom. Is it now? Instead, they hide behind vague statements and essentially assertions of “trust us”. At this point, they need to show us and not tell us. And once again, OU is making an employment decision public, which is inflaming the situation.
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
Absolutely disgusting.
This one hurts. Not even an obvious op to deliberately fail an assignment can bring people to their senses.
A prediction: the University of Oklahoma will continue to be used as a punching bag by right wing psychos, to the point of losing funding. One of the lessons of the last few years is that appeasement never works.
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.
In a just world, Fulnecky would have to write a 300 page dissertation on gender theory while in a bomb vest that explodes if she goes to ChatGPT or any other LLM.
Can we just start her off with having to write a complete sentence that a ten year old couldn’t write?
Since 2007 until now any school that is a major football school IMHO has a nearly worthless degree.
They're more focused on football and will cut classes, raise tuition, etc for football reasons.
It why I think schools should not longer be associated with what are now basically professional sports teams.
But the things is, this is basically all the schools in the south and Midwest other than like 10 schools.
It's a part of why education in red states suck so much.
In blue states like Massachusetts, California, etc schools are still primarily for education.
Every fucking school in the south other than like vandi, rice, duke, and some other ELITE southern schools that only the super lucky or wealthy get into are just football.
It's 100% making people in the south and Midwest stupider and when ou cuts classes for football, fires teachers for football, raises tuitions for football, can't afford to keep dorms livable because football needs a new stadium and weight room and training facilities.
These college teams have more expensive training facilities than NFL teams, paid for by the tuition of people trying to get an education
Virginia is the only state with laws where schools aren't allowed to hide that tuition money is going to sports and you see schools there charge their students like $5000 for "athletic fees"
Imagine what ou, OSU, Michigan, Texas, etc are taking out of the tuition students pay for football instead of school.
If you go to Texas, you are taking out student loans so arch manning can get paid millions of dolal by the school to be mid at football
If you go to ole miss you're paying student loans for lane kiffins sexy snap chat leaks to come out and then leave after one year
If you go to Michigan you are paying fucking student loans for that disaster
10 years from now degrees from these schools will be useless as Chinese schools surpass 99% of American schools in global rankings, and more and more stories come out about how college football is destroying academics
What's the situation here?
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.
wtf is a citation
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?
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.
This could be a theology class run by conservatives and she should still fail.
literally. it's such a fucking embarrassing farce
Yeah that's the one
I love that if you're an Amerikkkan white bread kid, you can say the most objectively wrong shit and they'll be rewarded as if they were right. Trash tier shithole country.
Writing "Jebus told me this" at the end of every exam paper, so that if they don't give me full marks I can sue for religious discrimination
