Professor Fired After He Accidentally Called Two Black Students by Wrong Name

A professor at Fordham University, a private Jesuit college in New York City, abruptly lost his job after an incident in which he accidentally called two black students by the wrong name. . .

While teaching his Composition II class on Sept. 24, Christopher Trogan, a now-former English lecturer at the school, accidentally called two students by the wrong name. The Fordham Observer characterized the incident as a “name mix-up” in which Trogan became briefly “confused.”

The students responded to the incident by emailing Trogan after class, telling him they were offended that he confused their names, and alleging that he did so because they are black.

Trogan, however, did not hide from his mistake. He sent his entire Composition II class an email apologizing for the “innocent mistake.” He said had suffered a “confused brain” because the two students whose names he confused walked into his class late at the same time he was reading the work of another student.

“The offended student assumed my mistake was because I confused that student with another Black student,” Trogan’s email said. “I have done my best to validate and reassure the offended student that I made a simple, human, error. It has nothing to do with race.” (Read more from “Professor Fired After He Accidentally Called Two Black Students by Wrong Name” HERE)
