[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's entitled to his opinions.  [/quote]

His opinions are discriminatory and he's not entitled to keep his job.  [/quote]

Yes he is. Professors and students alike have academic freedom and the freedom to express their opinions. Boise State is a public university, so they are required to respect an individuals' free speech rights.[/quote]

He obviously has discriminatory beliefs against women. He should not be in a position to issue grades to them if he cannot be objective. I would have a problem with him if he were my DD's prof and I'd be loudly letting the university know that. [/quote]

And before you come back with more "free speech" blathering, he wouldn't be fired for his speech. He'd be fired for not being able to perform his job functions in a nonbiased manner. His statements clearly indicate he cannot. Speech is free. But not free from consequences. [/quote]
+1 as a female, and CS major, this would have made me very very uncomfortable.  I would question every bad grade/criticism from him. "Is he being prejiduced against me because I'm a woman"?

Free speech has consequences.  Personal opinions can and do impact you professionally.[/quote]
