Asian-American professor sues UIC, alleging race discrimination
[Seung-Whan] Choi alleges that he was ostracized and denied raises comparable to his peers in the department of political science. Choi also said he was forced to teach courses in statistics for which he is not qualified because, one department official said, “Asians, especially Koreans are very good at mathematics and statistics,” according to court documents.
In 2015, then-department head Dennis Judd changed an undergraduate student’s grades without consultation with Choi, the suit says. When Choi asked Judd about it, the lawsuit alleges that Judd said Choi, “as a foreigner, has to keep in mind who he is dealing with and what he is wishing for,” and that Judd “knows that many Koreans are stubborn and do not understand American culture of compromise when dealing with their boss.”
Wow, shit like this pisses me off. I hope those racist department fucks get fired (if they already haven’t) and Choi wins his lawsuit. And fuck that Judd guy. That shit is unacceptable.
