Purdue Discrimination Case: Professor says "whites are lazy" and "just hire Chinese students."

A Japanese guy wanting to have Chinese people do the hard work is historically consistent.

A Tokyo native that is supposed to be a racist hires only Chinese? What kind of legal team does this nut job have? A Tokyo racist would hire white girls but definitely not Chinese.

The Japanese have historically been willing to put Chinese people to work. Paying them for the work is new.

Purdue probably believe the courts will not take anti-white racism seriously. Maybe they are right

Anti white racism

Please drive in any red state at night as a Hispanic, Muslim or AA anyone who is of darker skin color.

Get back to the rest of us about "antiwhite racism"

It amazes me how utterly stupid that phrase is.

There’s more to life than driving through Alabama at night, moron.

The Asian professor is an anti-White racist and he has no business at a public university in this country.

Purdue Exponent on yesterday's events during the trial.

https://www.purdueexponent.org/campus/article_eee04b98-ba4c-11ee-9b08-7bff62bbda5e.html

Professor Janelle Wharry testified Monday about overhearing Ishii asking another professor to deny her own tenure vote and calling her, another professor and their students "stupid, lazy Americans."

Bolstering that, recently retired nuclear engineering research professor Jeffrey Brooks said on the stand that he heard "extensive statements" from Ishii against women.

"He would call women stupid, lazy, incompetent and taking advantage of the stupid U.S. legal system, the stupid Affirmative Action system," Brooks said, adding that Ishii would severely criticize female faculty, including the department head at the time.
...
Asked whether he had ever heard Ishii make derogatory statements, Hassanein said, "It's uncomfortable, but he stated several times 'Women are stupid, and white men are lazy and stupid. He made a statement also regarding our dean one time ... He said, 'She shouldn't be the dean. She's a stupid woman,' and told me she was hired just because the U.S. requires women to be in high positions."

Purdue legal team miscalculated taking this to trial. I imagine they will renew settlement talks after seeing the reactions of black jurors at that affirmative action statement. Not to mention what female jurors will think of these blatant statements from someone trying to limit a woman's career progression.

I don't think we know enough about prior settlement talks to judge the calculations of Purdue's legal team. Kind of depends how high the Plaintiff's last demand was.

The plaintiff is asking for a tenure position at Purdue - #5 engineering school in the country. If she succeeds, there's not enough seats to settle all the students who were denied at T10 schools in the country.

Independently of the request for equitable relief though, she's also asking for damages -- back pay and whatnot from Purdue and compensatory/punitive damages from Ishii.

In the 21st century, stem production at an economical level is not one of these things

Asians are way more interested, able and willing to take grad school wages to produce good work

This is why the CHIPS act will fail

Same thing happened - tsmc was not happy with the quality of the workers in arizona so wanted to bring over workers from Taiwan on expedited visas but tsmc is being held up

So you’re saying life should be about 996 schedules and families that don’t like it can go suck eggs?

Good. I hope they are not issued the visas. As a foreign company, TSMC should not have received funds from the CHIP act.

He probably has tenure. Would that prevent his firing?

“A senior researcher in the nuclear engineering department, Jeffrey Brooks, wrote a declaration in 2020 in Sizyuk’s defense as part of her lawsuit. The document was filed last month. In it, Brooks wrote of Sizyuk’s high qualifications for tenure. He blamed Ishii for the outcome.

“I have observed that Dr. Mamoru Ishii has a strong, outsized influence on employment decisions at Purdue Nuclear Engineering,” he wrote, describing anti-female remarks and actions.”

This is why my DD chose a women’s college for her STEM undergrad. She will be in a coed grad environment but she has built her credentials through research experience in a woman friendly environment and has the confidence in her abilities that she needs to push through in an environment that is less woman friendly. Her prior experiences in STEM were filled with boys and men doubting her and keeping her in “her place.” It’s hard for women in STEM.

Yeah, mine chose engineering schools for high (which in engr is only anything over 40% sadly) female to male ratio and collaborative environment (including 1 women's college). Very glad she did!
