Oregon instructor reports student to 'bias response team' for stating biological facts

An incident report that was turned in to the bias team obtained by The College Fix revealed that an instructor in an undergraduate class reported the male student over "transphobia" that he had in the final paper.

The incident was among 20 different bias reports that were filed at the university during the fall last year. According to records obtained by the outlet, the student was enrolled in an eight-week course with the College of Education at the university. The student was tasked with completing an "action project" to identify a local issue and then take an initial step towards solving it.

The instructor acknowledged that the student had “consistently done well in the course, and not struggled with any of the other social justice content," but added that the submission of the project had “extensive examples of transphobia.”

“Many of the claims he makes in his paper, and the sources he uses, are very transphobic,” the instructor wrote in the report. The instructor claimed the student “seems to not understand the differences between sex and gender, or that both sex and gender exist on a spectrum outside of the binary.”

The report declared that the student also “does not seem to understand how to find and verify the validity of sources for coursework." The instructor declared that the view that men cannot become women "are not in keeping with CoEd or OSU values.”

“I have escalated this to my supervisor, program chair, department head, AD, and student support team," the instructor further said.
