He’d “rather not associate with white people over the course of the class.”
When a black professor at a mainstream university is sanctioned for discrimination against his white students, you know that his conduct had to be egregious. The case of Indiana University Professor Marcus Croom presents exactly that scenario.
Marcus Croom is a self-described “race critical researcher” and an Assistant Professor at the School of Education at Indiana University-Bloomington. In the far-left ecosystem of the modern university, schools of education—responsible for training America’s future teachers—are known for being particularly radical in their outlook, and IU-Bloomington is no exception. But even in that rarefied woke environment, Professor Croom took his anti-white agenda too far.
In the summer of 2024, IU-Bloomington student Michael Claycamp filed a formal complaint with the university’s Office of Civil Rights Compliance charging that Professor Croom exhibited unambiguous racial discrimination in conducting his class, creating a hostile environment for Caucasian students.
According to Claycamp, Croom made near-constant statements denigrating Caucasians in class, including comments that “white teachers are white supremacists” (a particularly pointed statement given that the students he was instructing were training to be future teachers) and that he would “rather not associate with white people over the course of the class.”
Croom’s racism was so egregious that the investigative committee was forced to recognize its severity.
“Many of the witnesses stated [Croom] tried to make them feel bad about being White and additionally made assumptions about them as White students which were often times not true,” states the investigative committee’s report, which added that Croom “continually defined” students “in terms of their race” including using such terms as “nice White women,” “privileged White girls,” and “White saviors.”
Apparently subscribing to the “White Fragility” theory of racism, Croom told white students in his class that they were all “intrinsically” and “indirectly” racist since “nice White women can be racist.”
The investigative report notes the “consistency” of witness statements corroborating these comments, concluding that “it is more than likely” Croom made “these or similar statements” to white students in his class and that “a preponderance of the evidence” suggests that he “placed the students’ race as central to their participation and evaluation in the course.” --->READ MORE HERE
Reportedly said he would ‘rather not associate with white people over the course of the class’
An investigation has determined that a black professor at Indiana University created a “hostile educational environment” for white students via “comments made over the course of a semester.”
The Herald-Times reported Jan. 13 that the scholar would be sanctioned as a result, a recent decision made by the vice provost for faculty and academic affairs.
“[T]he university had found a ‘preponderance of evidence’ that Croom had created a ‘hostile educational environment for White students,’ a violation of the university’s discrimination policy,” the Times reported.
The investigation was launched in 2024 by a complaint by then-student Michael Claycamp, who reported that education Professor Marcus Croom claimed “white teachers are white supremacists” and said he would “rather not associate with white people over the course of the class.”
Regarding the second remark, Croom qualified that he “did not hate white people,” according to the Indiana Daily Student. His comments were made in the class “Books for Reading Instruction.”
The IU Office of Institutional Equity in the fall of 2024 conducted interviews with Croom, Claycamp, and other students “from both sections of Croom’s class that semester.”
In a message to The College Fix, Claycamp provided a section from the investigation’s conclusion which notes Croom “continually defined” students “in terms of their race” such as “nice White women,” “privileged White girls,” and “White saviors
Croom also informed white students they all were “intrinsically” and “indirectly” racist as “nice White women can be racist,” according to the summary.
“Many of the witnesses stated [Croom] tried to make them feel bad about being White and additionally made assumptions about them as White students which were often times not true,” the investigation’s conclusion reads.
It notes “given the consistency” of the witness statements, “it is more than likely” Croom made “these or similar statements” to the white students. There also was “a preponderance of the evidence” that Croom “placed the students’ race as central to their participation and evaluation in the course.” --->READ MORE HERE
