NYU professor supposedly fired over giving James Franco a "D" in class.

[|A-Man|]

So one professor saying differently should change the absurd idea of 62 hours of credits all being attended regularly? I'd even question that Yale's professor integrity as far as only missing that one class.

There's also another practical way to look at it as Franco attended classes he enjoyed. I've routinely skipped and eventually dropped electives I didn't like while in the same day an hr before or after there would be a class I did attend.

SMH, some people work so hard for their grades! This makes me sick.

Damn, this dude still videoconferenced his PHD course while he was shooting a film, the week his father died.

I'm gonna take this dude's word published in Slate over a failed professor.

Good article on slate. I think that is just one salty professor who shouldn't be disclosing personal things like grades to the world.

This has nothing to do with the original article...sure you can go to a class you like...but the class you only showed up for 2 times you should fail for...it's only fair.  Unless he's probably throwing wads of money at the institution.

What got me so mad was that the rest of the students have to earn their grade but Franco and NYU and probably other schools he's attended expect preferential treatment.  They should just give him an honorary phd right now if that's how their gonna play it.

this is not me being saltly .. I've heard this from several of my former Hunter professors that also taught at NYU

kinda knew this already but it's interesting that you mentioned Hunter. Since I heard similar stories when I was at Hunter.

That a professor was willing to go to bat for him??

I have a few that would do that for me, I that in itself is awesome and of course not needed.

Yeah, the media made a big deal about him taking all these classes at a few of the top schools.  Now we probably know why he was able to do all of that if the professors were kissing his butt.

just the perception that dude signs up to 20 classes and trollfaces his way to finals, I don't believe.
