In this episode, I give my thoughts on the teaching crisis a NYU. Dr. Maitland Jones, Jr., a professor of organic chemistry at NYU, was fired after more than 80 students from his 350-student course signed a petition complaining about this grading and teaching. Jones is an authority in his field after teaching organic chemistry a Princeton University for 40 years.
His dismissal from NYU opened a can of worms about college teaching at a time when US higher education has both a perception problem and enrollment problem. I think this situation, while embarrassing, is an opportunity to raise the level of conversation about college teaching in a way that brings together different perspectives.
