A University of Kansas professor says he was suspended from teaching a course after he told a student to “learn English,” the Lawrence Journal-World reported. Gary Minden, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science, said he made the comment because a student was using a translator on a cell phone. He said other students -- not the student he addressed -- took offense, and it led to an “hourlong discussion.”
“A number of students have raised concerns about events that occurred in their engineering class,” a university spokeswoman said. “In response to these concerns, the university has assigned a different instructor to teach the course while the matter is reviewed.”
