Indiana University announced that it will offer alternative courses and 'double-blind grading' in an effort to quell students' concerns.
Indiana University has announced that it will offer alternative courses and"double-blind grading" in an effort to quell students' concerns amid reports that a business school professor repeatedly used his social media accounts to espouse"racist, sexist and homophobic views."
On Nov. 7, a Twitter account belonging to Rasmusen linked to an article titled"Are Women Destroying Academia? Probably." With the article link, the account tweeted a line from the piece, saying"geniuses are overwhelmingly male because they combine outlier high IQ with moderately low Agreeableness and moderately low Conscientiousness."
She assured students that they would not be forced to take Rasmusen's classes and that they would be provided alternatives. According to the school's website, Rasmusen, who has taught at the business school since 1992, is a professor of business economics and public policy as well as an adjunct professor of economics.
In an email to students and faculty of the business school Wednesday, Dean Idie Kesner echoed Robel's sentiments, calling the remarks and beliefs tweeted by Rasmusen"reprehensible,""hurtful" and"abhorrent."
