Princeton University's Firestone Library Michael Mancuso | NJ Advance Media for NJ.comA tenured Princeton professor is under fire for using the n-word in a class discussion, with some of his students asking the university to fire him, cancel his class, and allow them to complete his course without interacting with him.
in the Princetonian campus newspaper, students questioned Scanlan’s use of the word, and some left the class. One student who left, Omar Farah, filed a complaint with the university the next day, while others called for Scanlan’s firing, according to the report.also published Friday, Farah, a senior, criticized Scanlan’s “flippant body language, his unwillingness to drop the subject upon clear student distress, and his history of deeply offensive behavior.
The following Monday, Farah said they received an email from the provost’s office, saying the vice provost had conducted an initial assessment and determined that “given the academic context in which the word was used, it does not implicate the Policy on Discrimination and/or Harassment.” Farah called on the provost’s office to investigate the incident thoroughly, asked the visual arts program to cancel the class, help students receive credit and a grade without further instruction from Scanlan, “and repudiate the idea that there’s anything academic to be gained from this type of harassment.” Farah also called for a public apology from the university.
