[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He should have addressed and acknowledge it. He shouldn't have been fired.[/quote]

I think he did. He wasn't defiant.[/quote]

That is true according to the article. The top PP didn’t bother to read the short article linked in the OP.[/quote]

The link in the OP is behind a paywall, but this article suggests he showed it on the very first day of class. So, by definition, he did not address the matter ahead of time. https://www.michigandaily.com/news/academics/following-blackface-incident-professor-bright-sheng-takes-step-back-from-teaching-smtd-composition-course/

Students were also frustrated that his "apology letter" turned into a self-defense by listing every time he had cast an actor of color in one of his shows. By turning the apology into a defense, particularly by tokenizing the folks who he'd cast in his performances, he dug the hole deeper.

Honestly, stepping away for one semester is fine. Hopefully he will do better in the future.
