""Based on an examination of the graduate teaching assistant's prior grading standards and patterns, as well as the graduate teaching assistant's own statements related to this matter, it was determined that the graduate teaching assistant was arbitrary in the grading of this specific paper," the statement said. "The graduate teaching assistant will no longer have instructional duties at the University.""
"The school also stated it "believes strongly in both its faculty's rights to teach with academic freedom and integrity and its students' right to receive an education that is free from a lecturer's impermissible evaluative standards." "We are committed to teaching students how to think, not what to think," the statement said. It also reasserted a prior announcement that the student's grade appeal was decided in her favor, meaning the assignment was removed from her total point value in the class."
University of Oklahoma dismissed transgender graduate teaching assistant Mel Curth from instructional duties after an internal review found arbitrary grading of a student's essay. Curth gave a student a zero on an essay about a study on gender roles in which the student called trans people "demonic." The student, Samantha Fulnecky, filed a religious discrimination complaint in November and successfully appealed the grade, resulting in the assignment's removal from her total class points. The university concluded the investigation but will not release the findings. The university emphasized commitment to academic freedom and students' right to an education free from impermissible evaluative standards. The OU chapter of the AAUP criticized the decision.
