every grad student in school probably wants to kill this guy now
NYU professor supposedly fired over giving James Franco a "D" in class.

Here's what that NYU professor should have stated...if you get these actors to come to your class and "pretend" to be a student while on the side their getting a pass from the university institution not only does that show a dishonesty in the academic system as well as to have other true students have to do all the work and earn their grade but it cheapens the institutions name and reputation. This is sort of akin to how certain celebs get honorary black belts in certain martial arts for whatever reason.
It's like "hey come over to X university... X celebrity went here...oh your not a celebrity? Well you'll just have to earn your grade then...toodoloo"

He's James Franco, who cares if he got a D? NYU should be ashamed.

And folks are foolish to believe that Franco LEGITIMATELY pulled this off....there is no @$%#@$% way. NYU is pimping him...and he's reciprocating as well.

@ Nikekid
And here's where the plot thickens...and also why I believe that the NYU professor was fired...NYU let James Franco teach one of their classes on how to adapt poems into short movies or something...Is he even qualified to teach?
recent college grad checking in...i kno for a fact that 30 years experience, phd, and tenure, has ZERO effect on the quality of teaching. In engineering, some of those teachers were

He took an acting class in Brooklyn College, wish I saw him on campus I'd light him up on some piff on the spot. I feel like hes doing this to get at coege bitties more than anything else.
I could see the professor winning in court, not like it would affect NYU too much $$ wise
