    It’s stunning and embarrassing that this kind of behavior is rewarded with consideration. If you read the original assignment and the student’s submitted essay linked in the article, it’s very clear that the instructions were essentially disregarded. Giving credence to this obviously baited controversy limits the credibility of the University.

    That American educational institutions are at this level of competence is surreal. I’ve seen more genuine and productive debates from high schoolers.
