just feeling more and more like it’s journalistic malpractice not to lead with the fact that the instructor in question is trans
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

of course none of this controversy is about defending or explaining journalism or human rights investigations—it’s about a group of powerful people who want to reserve the right to deny reality, however poorly, whenever they want to or are told to

It’s the entire point. There’s no plan to make this meaningful for students. No plan to use it administratively. Its design and implementation signals its only real intent. It’s best and easiest use case is for systematic harassment and to scare faculty into complying in advance.
We know the students don’t read the syllabuses. So who will? Right-wing activists looking for excuses to hound profs.
