More in the article, don't want to quote in full.
Wondering what people here think about this incident. I think the title alone practically gives enough context to say "big deal, sometimes words sound like other words" and move on with life but after listening to the short clip I'm now 100% in that category. Video in article.
It looks like there *may not* be any long-term punishment, if I'm understanding the article correctly. Changes aren't finalized. Still, I think just about any administrative reaction here is over the top.
In fact I think by having another teacher substitute for now they will almost-necessarily make the class experience worse as the course was designed by the first instructor, not the temporary one.

On Tuesday evening, the USC Marshall School of Business provided Campus Reform with a statement, confirming that Patton is no longer teaching his course. “Recently, a USC faculty member during class used a Chinese word that sounds similar to a racial slur in English. We acknowledge the historical, cultural and harmful impact of racist language,” the statement read. |
