Updated: Georgetown Law Center has terminated the position of an adjunct professor who was video recorded saying, “a lot of my lower ones are Blacks” with regard to students who took a negotiations seminar she taught. Sandra Sellers is a Virginia intellectual property lawyer and trained mediator, according to her website Technology Mediation Services. David Batson, who co-taught the course with her, also appeared on the video, and he appears to nod his head while Sellers is speaking. He has been placed on leave from his adjunct position at Georgetown pending an investigation, the Washington Post reports. A Georgetown Law profile describes him as a senior alternative dispute resolution specialist and ADR counsel with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
