Texas A&M Galveston teacher Irwin Horowitz was teaching a group of mostly senior level students in his Strategic Management class. You'd think they'd be more mature being that close to graduating, but according to Horowitz, it seemed more like teaching in a rough high school than a state university.
He tried multiple times to get the class under control, but none of his pleas to either the students or to university administrators were heard.
So with only a few weeks to go in the semester, Horowitz decided to go the 'fire and brimstone' route and give every last student an F in order to exclude himself from his teaching duties, via an email that cited pretty much every offensive thing you could do to someone who you're also depending on to help you get out of school and into the workforce.
'Since teaching this course, I have caught and seen cheating, been told to 'chill out,' 'get out of my space,' 'go back and teach,' [been] called a 'f****** moron' to my face, [had] one student cheat by signing in for another, one student not showing up but claiming they did, listened to many hurtful and untrue rumors about myself and others, been caught between fights between students…
'None of you, in my opinion, given the behavior in this class, deserve to pass, or graduate to become an Aggie, as you do not in any way embody the honor that the university holds graduates should have within their personal character.
'It is thus for these reasons why I am officially walking away from this course. I am frankly and completely disgusted.
'You all lack the honor and maturity to live up to the standards that Texas A&M holds, and the competence and/or desire to do the quality work necessary to pass the course just on a grade level…. I will no longer be teaching the course, and all are being awarded a failing grade.'
University officials aren't really backing Horowitz's methods saying while they will seek to punish the unruly students, the semester isn't over and the department head will now take over the class.
