'This inexplicable failure of judgment trivializes one of the most horrific events in world history...'
A Middlebury College professor, who gave students a written question including a reference to Nazi gas chambers, was placed on leave, the university announced last week.
The question, as published by the student newspaper The Middlebury Campus, acknowledged that Nazi Germany used the gas to “horrific ends,” but students were still disturbed by it. However, one student, Ellis Glickman, who identified as Jewish, said while the question was in poor taste, it didn’t merit Byers losing his job.
Glickman explained that his letter wasn’t intended as a defense of the question, just the professor and accused the administration of turning against Byers to “kowtow to its students.” “Middlebury has, and always will, condemn any actions that are anti-Semitic or racist in intent or effect, just as we will any other acts of bias or discrimination,” Patton said in a statement.
