My University Treated Me Like a Criminal Over a Joke

And shouldn’t we at a bare minimum expect professors to model a semblance of appropriate communication in a classroom? Singling out one culture and making disparaging jokes sets the wrong example on a college campus that should be an inclusive community. How did he think that joke would land with any Pakistani students that might be in the class? Clearly he didn’t really care – in my view that sets the wrong example.

This is behavior that encourages division which is the last thing we need any more of right now.
