NYU Professor Says He Was Fired After 80+ Students Complain Class Was Too Hard
Dr. Maitland Jones Jr. was fired by the university earlier in 2022. Jones said he was let go after students complained to the school that his organic chemistry class was too hard.
More than 80 of his 350 students signed a petition claiming Jones was responsible for their failing grades. On Tuesday, NYU released a statement saying in part that there were multiple student complaints about his dismissiveness, unresponsiveness, condescension and lack of transparency about grading.
"In short he was hired to teach, and wasn't successful," a spokesperson said, adding that there were"troubling indicators" regarding his teaching, including a high rate of withdrawals.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
