CSUN Raffle Ticket Scandal

Let me be sure I have this straight. A professor at a California State University, an acting department head no less, offers to sell A’s to his students in exchange for their selling $100 worth of raffle tickets for a charitable organization that has never been charitable to anyone but the caterers who arranged the charity dinners, and the professor is not jailed, he is not fired, he is not even put on probation, and the only consequences of this ridiculous, unethical behavior are that the classes in which the offer was made are canceled, and the offending professor wants the university administration to feel guilty because he’s black and they’re racist. He’s right! They are racist! If he had been white they would have fired him on the spot.
