Inside Higher Ed: Students’ Complaints, Professors’ Rights
CUNY administrators have proposed that the university’s board adopt new procedures for handling student complaints that are not related to either academic freedom or covered by other university policies. The proposal — expected to come before CUNY’s board for ratification later this month — sets up investigative responsibilities and creates panels to adjudicate those complaints in which a mutual conclusion can’t be reached. CUNY officials portray the policy as a clarification that will help students who don’t know what to do when they feel they have been mistreated in the classroom. Very few cases are likely to be covered by the policy, CUNY officials say, and it has nothing to do with Horowitz’s cause.
