[quote=Anonymous]Find out if the college has an omsbudsperson, if so the omsbudsperson is a neutral party who can help your daughter figure out what actions are open to her and how she would like to proceed. As an academic, I do think the professor was wrong. A college classroom is not the comment section of the WaPo, it is a controlled environment in which the instructor is responsible for making sure all students have the opportunity to learn. Allowing a hostile environment (and I would say that derogatory comments about people of a particular racial or ethnic or racial group is hostile) in the classroom does not meet that standard. The professor need not make a huge deal over the comment. She may have spoken to the shouter privately, but certainly if she didn't address the comment in the moment, she should have taken some time at the beginning of the next class to remind students of the ethical standards of the classroom.[/quote]
