 ==The Story==
-University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) accounting instructor Gordon Klein,  was cancelled after he told a student in 2020 that he wouldn’t let black students delay taking final exams on account of the George Floyd riots.The student inquiry was part of a well-organized campaign to find a professor to cancel. Dean Antonio Bernardo suspended Klein for three weeks without due process, instigated a discrimination investigation, and sent out an email accusing Klein of "abuse of power" to more than 40,000 people. In September 2021, Klein filed suit against UCLA and Dean Bernardo. UCLA’s motion to dismiss was defeated in March 2022. If Klein wins his defamation claim with its $22 million claim for actual, objective, damages (destroying someone’s consulting practice is expensive), Dean Bernardo, not UCLA, is liable for paying it, plus punitive damages if the court finds the defamation reckless or intentional.

 In 2020, Klein [https://rasmusen.org/special/gordonklein/LarryoConnorGordonKlein061120_11am.mp3     was interviewed on the Larry O'Connor show].   He talked about how he grew up in Detroit and went to the public schools; how he was a professional keyboardist and   played gospel music in black churches; how he turned in a colleague for discriminating against hispanics; how the student email that sparked this was from a student he knew well and liked but was  part of a well-organized national campaign to go after a list of some 80 faculty; how he was thinking of retiring soon anyway and volunteering time to help student clubs.  And he describes how  Dean Bernardo hung up on him  without giving him a chance to tell his side of the story.
 Somebody posted the spreadsheet Prof. Klein mentioned in his radio interview listing 80  professors that progressives were targeting to trap into refusing exam cancellation requests so they could be "cancelled".    It's at [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IX42mJZdzoi8q7iiiAWMqVpBi_3dCwn9X2xoKfnR6CI/edit#gid=1221560764 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IX42mJZdzoi8q7iiiAWMqVpBi_3dCwn9X2xoKfnR6CI/edit#gid=1221560764.] It shows how most faculty caved in and did things such as making the final exam optional.
 Dean Bernardo has issued [https://www.anderson.ucla.edu/about/our-dean  quite a number of  "community updates"]  with a critical race theory flavor. The one attacking Professor Klein had been taken down by August 2021.
