By LE Desk

March 12: Georgetown University Law Center said Thursday that it has fired one professor and placed another on leave after a Zoom video surfaced of the pair discussing their Black law students’ academic performance.

“I am appalled that two members of our faculty engaged in a conversation that included reprehensible statements concerning the evaluation of Black students,” Georgetown Law dean William Treanor said in a statement posted to the school’s website, Reuters reported.
