The professors also allege that minority faculty members at the school are paid less, denied tenure and subject to harassment. In other words, it's just another day in the South. But this time, the professors are white and the school is predominantly black.
Discrimination is unethical, no matter who's practicing it.
The only thing that chaps Americans more than discrimination is reverse discrimination. The former may be a repugnant violation of fairness, but the latter is a stinging reminder that paybacks are hell. When a worthy obligation to provide black role models is perceived as discrimination, you have what is known in technical circles as a cluster fuck. No matter who you are or what your position is, you're going to get it in the ass. Which is why you won't see Jesse Jackson running to this school for expelling white professors like he ran to an Illinois high school earlier this year after it expelled several black students for fighting.
