Georgetown Law has fired one of its white professors for admitting during what she believed to be a private Zoom call that the black students in her class perform “just plain at the bottom.”
Sandra Sellers, 62, was speaking to Prof. David Batson about how “a lot of my lower ones are blacks,” referring to the students in her class with the worst academic performance.
“They were a bit jumbled,” Sellers said of one of her student’s performance, who according to the Black Law Students Association was the only black student in Sellers’ mediation and negotiation class.
“It’s like, let me reason through that, what you just said,” Sellers added in frustration. “You know what? I hate to say this, I end up having this angst every semester, that a lot of my lower ones are blacks.”
