A University of Oklahoma graduate teaching assistant, Mel Curth, was removed from instructional duties after investigators concluded her grading of a student's Bible-referencing essay was arbitrary. The university did not release detailed findings from the Title IV religious discrimination inquiry but cited an examination of prior grading standards, patterns, and Curth's statements.
