The University of California, Los Angeles has reportedly launched an investigation into a white professor who read Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” which contains the N-word, to students.
The Washington Free Beacon obtained a political science department email last week in which Michael Chwe, UCLA political science chairman, and two other department heads denounced lecturer W. Ajax Peris, who is white, for saying the N-word aloud during a lecture. UCLA will also host a town hall for students this week to discuss the controversy and “outline future next steps” and urged students to come forward with complaints.
