I really feel that a professor of ours at
SCSU most definitely
didn't handle himself
appropriately the other night at the Gaza panel in
atwood. I totally feel that he made himself look bad and that it looked bad upon our school and our reputation. I think that he had a valid question that needed to be answered but that he imposed himself on the panel,
wouldn't let them speak when they were trying to say that there would be a Q&A at the end of the discussion where they would answer his question and for him to please sit down and wait until that time. St Cloud state already has a bad rep. for intolerance and although I
don't personally believe that this is what was
truly behind the professor acting out, but it did look that way to people who where just coming into the room. Its a sensitive topic with a lot of hurt emotions, but I thought the panel had a great presentation and I learned a lot more on the topic. Also, someone did wait until the Q&A part of the discussion and asked the question that the professor demanded that they answer in the very
beginning of the panel, and they gave a justified answer. Its unfortunate that the professor had to disrupt everyone e
lse's learning when he just could have waited until the end of the panel. If he had, he would have gotten his answer.
Well said, Nadiea.
