US EditionPulse of Politics: University of Oklahoma Failed Essay Grade Controversy
The University of Oklahoma reversed a zero grade and suspended the instructor after a student alleged free speech violations related to a religious perspective in a psychology paper.
- Last month, the University of Oklahoma rescinded the zero and placed the graduate-student instructor on administrative leave after junior Samantha Fulnecky filed a formal complaint.
- The course instructions emphasized that the assignment, linked to the assigned article, was graded on a 2-point rubric emphasizing linkage and reaction.
- Explaining the zero, the graduate-student instructor said points were deducted for a reaction paper that ignored course materials, contradicted itself, relied on ideology over evidence, and was offensive.
- Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt urged OU regents to review the investigation, Ryan Walters called Fulnecky `an American hero`, and OU students supported the instructor.
- The case highlights tensions over academic standards and whether beliefs justify grade changes, with the ACLU noting classroom speech must relate to course topics and promote civil dialogue, while conservative groups amplify the dispute and some academic evaluators support the failing grade.
