Oklahoma Instructor Fired After Failing Student’s Bible-Based Essay on Gender
The University of Oklahoma has removed a teaching assistant from their instructional duties following a controversy over a failing grade given to a student. The student, Samantha Fulnecky, received an F on an essay about gender norms, which she claimed was due to religious discrimination. An investigation revealed that the teaching assistant was arbitrary in their grading standards, leading to the decision. Fulnecky’s grade appeal was resolved in her favor, while the university stated they do not release findings from discrimination investigations.
