- 3 years ago
Two Widener nursing professors were caught slamming their students at the end of a Zoom class recording.
The comments from Professor Marcy C. Francis and lecturer Mary Marquis sparked outrage after they were apparently uploaded to class files by mistake.
In the 86-second clip, is the part of the conversation that circulated on social media, Francis also expressed concerns that the students did not know anatomy “at all,” and that they would “move on” and not “represent the school well.
Marquis said she made her “heart failure” questions harder last year before the pandemic, because she was so mad at her students.
An unnamed parent of a nursing student, said the professors should be fired, since their intent was to make “students fail, not succeed.”
Officials within the university called the comments by both professors “unprofessional,” and both Anne M. Krouse, the dean of the School of Nursing, and provost Andrew A. Workman have issued statements.
