Georgetown Law fired an associate professor and put another on leave for comments about black students at the university. Sandra Sellers, who is white, said during a Zoom call recorded, “I hate to say this. I end up having this heartbreak every semester that a lot of my inferior kids are black. It happens almost every semester. And it’s like, ‘Oh come on.’ You get some really good ones, but there are also some that are simple. at the bottom.
