Why is it when an incoming Boston University professor by the name of Grundy tweets, "white masculinity is THE problem for america’s (sic) colleges" gets to retain the position for which she was hired?
Even though the university president issued a statement supposedly condemning the language, Grundy is still being hired.
If the situation involved a white professor negatively commenting upon black Americans, it most assured that he/she would need to find employment elsewhere.
Inflammatory, racist commentary carries responsibilities for those uttering it. Grundy's reported comments fail to grasp the seriousness of her transgression or take responsibility for them. “I regret that my personal passion about issues surrounding these events led me to speak about them indelicately," Grundy said. "I deprived them of the nuance and complexity that such subjects always deserve."
Boston University in this case displays the growing higher education hypocrisy plaguing the nation.
