| Subject: Absurd: Kansas professor on leave after using racial slur in class Sun Nov 22, 2015 2:36 am | |
| A white University of Kansas professor is on paid leave after using a racial slur during a class discussion about race.
The school told Andrea Quenette, an assistant professor of communication studies, on Friday that five people had filed a discrimination complaint against her, she told the Lawrence Journal-World (http://bit.ly/1SbhBhY ). She requested a leave of absence, and the university says she will have to stay off campus during the administrative leave until the investigation is complete.
Students began complaining about Quenette after she used the racial slur during a Nov. 12 class for graduate students who teach undergraduate classes. The class met the day after a contentious university-wide forum on race and discrimination moderated by Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little.
The forum followed days of protests at the University of Missouri over concerns about the administration's handling of racial issues and the subsequent resignations of the system president and chancellor of the Columbia campus.
