In a new salvo of the assault by the warriors of social justice upon the integrity of higher education, a professor was caught trying to inflate grades based on gender. The culprit was Liping Liu, a professor of information sciences at the University of Akron. According to Insidehighered.com:

In an email to students in his systems analysis and design class that has since been made public, Liping Liu reportedly wrote that women “may see their grades raised one level or two” as part of a “national movement to encourage female students to go [into] information sciences.”

When this blatant effort became known, the university administration praised his “laudable” intentions, but rebuked professor Liu for his methods, and reassured the public that no grades were altered.
