Failing to honor snowflakes. The university has not as yet accepted his resignation, he’s a well-loved teacher.
Via Washington Times:
An associate professor at the University of Missouri has resigned following backlash after he refused to cancel an exam for students who claimed to feel unsafe on campus.
“If you don’t feel safe coming to class, then don’t come to class,” Dale E. Brigham, an associate professor at the school’s Department of Nutrition & Exercise Physiology, initially told students in an email, Campus Reform reported.
“I will be there, and there will be an exam administered in our class,” he said. “If you give into bullies, they win. The only way bullies are defeated is by standing up to them. If we cancel the exam, they win; if we go through with it, they lose. I know which side I am on. You make your own choice.”
Update:
Here’s one of the threats that the professor received.
Black Lives Matter folks and other student activists encouraged students to flood him with emails.
This is the person behind the vicious email. We don’t believe the person is even a student.
