George Mason University (GMU) is set to offer a three-credit course on Florida youth Trayvon Martin this fall but in the online description of the course misspelled his name as “Trevon Martin."
The class, officially entitled “Race & Politics, Trevon [sic] Martin” in the course catalogue will be taught by Professor Rutledge Dennis of the Sociology and Anthropology Department.
Martin was shot in February 2012 after an altercation with a neighborhood watch member, George Zimmerman, who is currently the subject of a murder trial.
The trial, being held in Florida, has been racially charged due to questions over Zimmerman’s motivations. Zimmerman stated late Wednesday he would not provide testimony, with the jury set to issue a decision later this month.
Dennis will teach the GMU course in a lecture/seminar style on Wednesdays in two and half hour blocks from 4:30-7:10 in Krug Hall on GMU’s main campus.
Professor Dennis and other GMU representatives did not respond to requests for comment by Campus Reform in time for publication.
Friend of mine works with an SC State alum. Says one of the guy’s main goals in life was to do well enough so his children would never have to go near SC State. They ended up going to name schools and doing well.
SC State is always in danger of losing it’s accreditation. The news reports how and why then we hear nothing more on the issue which somehow solved itself. Then a few years later, the news reports that their accreditation is on the hot seat again. This has been going on for decades.
Intentional misspelling also defeats web search features so they can sneak it in under the radar.
Any parent, or student, who would pay tuition for such a "course" has at least a screw loose.
Of course many of the pathetic students who will sit in this prof's classroom are getting their "education" paid for by Pell grants and other taxpayer-funded freebies.
You crazy-___ cracker!
You are? Wow, my son is starting there in the fall in your Masters program. IF we can somehow manage to get him there with this economy of ours.
