A professor who failed a student for using the term “biological woman” in an assignment was officially reprimanded and ordered to complete free speech training.
Adjunct instructor Melanie Nipper, 29, received an official reprimand from the University of Cincinnati weeks after she gave her student Olivia Krolczyk a ‘zero’ on her final project proposal for using the term “biological woman” in Nipper’s class, Gender in Popular Culture. (snip) The incident that prompted the reprimand received national attention when Krolczyk posted a video on TikTok describing how Nipper gave her a failing grade because “biological woman” was, according to the professor, “trans-exclusionary.”

It is impossible to be inclusive in an exclusionary make believe world. How can it be inclusive it certain 'identities' are excluded?

Of course, if a conservative professor failed a student for using "trans woman", they would have been fired on the spot, blackballed from ever teaching again, and tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail!!!

Oooh! Ordered to take a free speech course. I'm sure that will make her see the error of her ways! Come on man! Firing is the only appropriate course of action.

First they came for the language. But I was not a linguist ... Yet I do like the image of tar and feathers. So dramatic, er, grammatic.

Why would anyone serious about their education waste their time and money on such an unserious class? And U. C. has an entire department devoted to this nonsense! "There's a sucker born every minute."

What kind of "class" is this? An elective or indoctrination session?

You can get credits for a class named 'Gender in Popular Culture'??? No wonder our 'graduates' are falling behind the rest of the world...

Nipper? In Barney Fyfe voice, "...you've got to nip it, nip it in the bud!"

The student is a chemistry major, so she's no dummy.
Hopefully she has figured out to avoid such Leftist indoctrination in the future.
(Years ago as an engineering major, I was required to take 18 semester hours of 'humanities' courses, so as to have a 'well-rounded education'. I asked "Do you require the history or sociology or psychology majors to take 18 semester hours of Calculus or Calculus-based Physics so that they also receive a 'well-rounded education'?.... they didn't answer.)
I wound up taking 18 semester hours of Music History, which I enjoyed.

Most undergraduate programs require all students (regardless of their majors) to take one or two of these "Diversity" type courses. That's how they support the useless "studies" departments because there aren't enough students taking those courses otherwise. Otherwise, most serious students wouldn't waste their time. The smart students ask around, find the least objectionable class that meets the requirement, grit their teeth, barf back what the instructor says, and move on to their serious classes.

Years ago, as part of completing my education coursework, I was required to take a modest course about culture which actually had some substance to it. I suppose it was the forerunner of all the woke CRT crap today, but it was actually useful when I started teaching.

How about just making this adjunct prof a FORMER adjunct prof, with the personnel file marked "not re-employable".
