About a quarter of students in an organic chemistry class at New York University signed a petition against their renowned 84-year-old professor, claiming the class was simply too hard. NYU responded by letting the students withdraw from the class, and firing the professor. (NYT)
Note to self, get the names of those students and make sure they never operate on any of my loved ones. It was an Orgsnic Chem class, it is supposed to be hard. Most of those students didn’t show up to class, do the readings or watch the videos he assigned. Welcome to the era of laziness and entitlement. We’re doomed.
I would suggest that better decisions are made after the hormone driven age in personal long term relationships. I tend to assess and evaluate near exhaustion, but feel better about my choices by projection likelihood.
So sad that 75 percent of the students won’t have the opportunity of being taught by that professor because of whining lazy moronic students. Nothing democratic or fair about it!

Ugh terrible! Doesn’t the University have any other way to deal with this ? Like allowing those that did not like it leave ?
