Indiana U. professor sanctioned for creating ‘hostile environment’ for white studentshttps://www.thecollegefix.com/indiana-u-professor-sanctioned-for-creating-hostile-environment-for-white-students/“[T]he university had found a ‘preponderance of evidence’ that Croom had created a ‘hostile educational environment for White students,’ a violation of the university’s discrimination policy,” the Times reported.
The investigation was launched in 2024 by a complaint by then-student Michael Claycamp, who reported that education Professor Marcus Croom claimed “white teachers are white supremacists” and said he would “rather not associate with white people over the course of the class.”
Regarding the second remark, Croom qualified that he “did not hate white people,” according to the Indiana Daily Student. His comments were made in the class “Books for Reading Instruction.”

In a message to The College Fix, Claycamp provided a section from the investigation’s conclusion which notes Croom “continually defined” students “in terms of their race” such as “nice White women,” “privileged White girls,” and “White saviors.”
Croom also informed white students they all were “intrinsically” and “indirectly” racist as “nice White women can be racist,” according to the summary.
“Many of the witnesses stated [Croom] tried to make them feel bad about being White and additionally made assumptions about them as White students which were often times not true,” the investigation’s conclusion reads.
It notes “given the consistency” of the witness statements, “it is more than likely” Croom made “these or similar statements” to the white students. There also was “a preponderance of the evidence” that Croom “placed the students’ race as central to their participation and evaluation in the course.”
Croom should be out on his @$$ and taking fryolator training.
