19 Epic Displays of Failure on College and University Campuses That Demonstrate How Free Speech and Civility are Dying

A Yale University dean was placed on administrative leave following a series of racist Yelp reviews she left for local businesses.  June Chu, the dean at Pierson College, took to the review site to slam a Japanese restaurant by describing it as a good place to go “if you’re white trash.”

Her polarizing reviews went viral on social media, with many users calling for her dismissal.

Chu released an apology acknowledging that her reviews were reprehensible and “insensitive in matters relating to race and class.”

Chu was suspended and barred from attending commencement at the college over her posts.  A good example of how unprofessional and racist remarks made outside of the workplace can have serious impact on a person’s job.
