Middlebury chemistry professor on leave after Nazi gas chamber exam question

[damon30]

It’s certainly distasteful. However, I don’t think the man should lose his job or that his academic career should be sabotaged as a result of one act of bad judgement, unless there’s a history of racism and anti-semitism here. And I certainly don’t see that.

See post #24. There were, at least, two bad acts. That said, I’m not sure how much this should matter in the scheme of things. But if he loses his tenure, then he definitely brought this on himself.
