A professor who was suspended for declining a push to give black students easier exams has sued his school, alleging a breach of contract and other violations.
Gordon Klein, a professor at the University of California–Los Angeles (UCLA), was asked by a group of non-black students last year to grade their black classmates more leniently. They wanted him to give them a “no-harm” final exam that “will only benefit students’ grades if taken,” they wrote in an email.
