POLITICSProfessor who was suspended after refusing to grade black students more leniently sues UCLA

Gordon Klein, who joined the Anderson school in 1981, is seeking compensatory damages, punitive damages, and attorney fees in a lawsuit filed with a state court in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Following the death of Floyd at the hands of police in May of last year, Klein received a letter from a non-black student asking that he provide more leniency in grading the work of black students.

"There are many ways to assist the advancement of underrepresented groups in achieving their dreams through a university education," Klein said in an email to The College Fix. "However, giving students grades that they did not earn, or giving some identity groups preferential treatment over others, is divisive and inconsistent with the core principles of the university."
