A former Pennsylvania State University professor claims she was fired for
failing students in her nursing class, a civil lawsuit claims.Elizabeth Barry, a
former nursing instructor at Penn State's Fayette campus, did not have her
contract renewed at the end of the spring 2008 semester, according to court
documents filed on Aug. 17 in U.S. District Court for the Western District of
Pennsylvania. Barry claims the non-renewal is because 19 of the 52 students in
her psychiatric nursing class failed their final exam.Named in the lawsuit were
Nursing School Dean Paula Milone-Nuzzo, Assistant Dean Raymonde Brown and Penn State Fayette Chancellor Emmanuel Osagie, court documents show.Barry claims
Milone-Nuzzo and Brown threatened her contract renewal after she refused to
change her grading policies. Nine of the 19 students who failed had their grade
changed, the complaint alleges.
Who would do this I mean why? Who would fire them for grading because working on this theory a teacher or professer or doctor cannot fail students or...You're gone.
