On May 14, University of Akron professor Liping Liu sent an email to his class sections saying certain categories of students—including women—may see their grades “raised one level or two.” Liu claimed his approach was a part of a “national movement to encourage female students to go [in]to information sciences.”
Fortunately, the plan appears to have been vetoed. Asked for comment, university officials say that “no adjustment in grades along the lines suggested by the professor has occurred or will be permitted to occur.” But Liu’s suggestion is still troubling, writes Liz Wolfe.
