Summary

In late September of 2021, a professor in Emory’s Law School openly used a slur in a first year law class. The incident sparked protest and a simultaneous counter-protest by members of the community. But this isn’t an isolated incident. Over the past years, over four law professors have openly used slurs and received serious criticism. One professor, Paul Zwier, used slurs in separate incidents inside and outside the classroom and was barred from teaching mandatory courses until this semester. In the first installment of this two part series, we speak with news reporter Madi Olivier who helped investigate the recent relationship between the history of using slurs in the classroom and the events that have led up to this semester. This story corresponds with the cover story in the Hub, the Wheel’s recently-restored magazine. We will continue telling this story on next week's episode of Wheel Talk.
