Texas A&M-Galveston ethics and business management professor Irwin Horwitz, decided to quit teaching his strategic management class and fail all 35 students. Horwitz, in an e-mail to Texas A&M-Galveston President Robert Smith III, and Provost Patrick Loucharan, complained that students told him to "chill out", "get out of their space", "you can't fail them", and even calling him an " (expletive) moron".

Have any of you dealt with a teacher a professor like this?  Do you think Horwitz is justified in his behavior?

Ethics and business. See there's the problem. Usually you pick one or the other.

If there's anything that teaching has taught me, it's that undergrads are mostly morons who never do any work and want you to do everything, so I can completely understand the desire to flunk a whole class. Not so wise to actually do it, though.
