[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regardless of how much Purdue should pay to settle the case they need to fire the Asian racist immediately. There’s no place for his ilk in an American university. [/quote]

He probably has tenure. Would that prevent his firing?[/quote]

No. And he should have been fired years ago.

Universities are full of Asian racists and it’s good some of their racism is finally being exposed.  Let them go back to their homogeneous societies and revel in their purported superiority. [/quote]

I transferred out of an econ program 20 years ago because the heavy bias against non-Asian students and rampant sexism among faculty made it miserable and I didn't see it getting better in grad school. Shifted to poli sci, attended a top law school, it worked out.

So now I'm watching this case with interest as a lawyer who is familiar with this kind of academic culture. Back then sexism in academia was so commonplace no one really cared (and would say "well they are from a different culture" about an Asian professor saying sexist things the way they'd also defend old white guy profs with "well he's from a different time") and people really did believe Asian students were harder working and smarter. It never would have occurred to any of us to sue. So I'll be curious to see where this goes.[/quote]
