UWinnipeg prof sues after student complaint over race & IQ lecture
A student lodged a complaint against psychology professor Jeremy Firmer after a course presented racial data on IQ scores and crime statistics.
University of Winnipeg professor Jeremy Frimer was suspended without pay after a student in his “Psychological Approaches to Social Issues” class offered at the school implied that the teacher was preaching white supremacy when presenting IQ and crime statistics broken down by race.
In an interview with Juno News, Frimer stated that the core of the students’ complaint was a “fundamental misunderstanding” of the material in a course designed to “cultivate a deep understanding of divisive social issues and develop respect for adversarial views and intellectual humility.”
