US EditionUniversity of Oklahoma Instructor on Leave After Failing Grade on Gender Essay
The University of Oklahoma reversed a failing grade on a gender roles essay after a religious discrimination claim, placing the instructor on leave during investigation.
- On Wednesday, the University of Oklahoma granted Samantha Fulnecky a grade appeal so her failing essay grade would not count, The Oklahoman reported.
- For one psychology assignment, Samantha Fulnecky wrote a 650-word essay citing the Bible and rejecting multiple genders as `demonic and a lie`.
- Graduate student instructor Mel Curth said the failing grade reflected the paper's reliance on personal ideology over empirical evidence, and Turning Point USA shared screenshots showing Curth wrote using beliefs `is not best practice`, with another instructor agreeing.
- On Nov. 30, University of Oklahoma officials placed Mel Curth on administrative leave while investigating Samantha Fulnecky's claim of religious discrimination and assigned a full-time professor to teach the remainder of the semester.
- OU's Turning Point USA chapter's post generated more than 44 million views as conservative supporters of Fulnecky rallied, feeding into national debates this year with Republican leaders and Education Secretary Linda McMahon.
