Hours after what he called an innocent mistake, lecturer Christopher Trogan, 46, sent a rambling, nine-page email to students in his Composition II classes explaining the faux pas and defending, without being asked, his entire life of working on issues of justice, equality, and inclusion, the campus newspaper reported. The offended student assumed my mistake was because I confused that student with another Black student, Trogan wrote, according to a Nov. 29 article in the Fordham Observer. I have done my best to validate and reassure the offended student that I made a simple, human, error. It has nothing to do with race. He blamed the mistake on his confused brain when the two students arrived to class late on Sept. 24, while he was reading a classmates work. Several students said Trogans bizarre overreaction, rather than making a simple apology, made matters worse for him. The email was a little excessive, one of the two black students, freshman Chantal Sims, told the Observer. We were not actually that upset about him mixing up our names. It was more so the random things he would throw into the response. In the email, he urged any students upset by the incident to to complain to the school. Depending on your response to the officials above, I may or may not be your professor in class next week. Its all up to you, he wrote. Sims told the paper Trogans email stressed everything he has done for minorities. Trogan was a nice teacher for the 5 classes that I had him for, but he never attempted to get to know me personally (in a 14 person class), wrote one newspaper commenter who claimed to be in the Composition II class. I dont think he deserved to get fired, but his response to a small issue was what blew the entire thing up. Fordham spokesman Bob Howe told The Post the school takes personnel matters very seriously, but claimed media representations regarding this issue do not reflect the facts in Dr. Trogans case. He refused to elaborate. Trogan was a popular instructor, according to dozens of reviews on Rate My Professor. He doesnt quite let on how much he knows and what hes accomplished, but he is quite brilliant but humble and not stuck up, a former student wrote. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 <cite>Lebronwon posted [p:960819348] in NY College...
