Student kicked out for telling professor there are only two genders

So biology and health text books, in college, have more than male and female autonomy covered now? Do tell where at.

Why should I do starlight's homework?

So, getting back to the original subject of the topic, it looks like the decision by the disciplinary committee (or whoever was in charge of the decision) is that the student in question can return to class.

Your linked article says that University President was sick of the media attention and cancelled the university's process of reviewing the student's behavior. Any disciplinary committee decision on the (in)appropriateness of the student's behavior was thus never given.

I'm not that familiar with US course numbering, but if it's anything like course numbering over here, {subject} 101 would be a university introductory course aimed at first-year students enrolled in a 3-year or 4-year degree programme. If so, the answer to the subsequent question is straightforward:
You did.

Gosh, only if a book out there existed that kept track of definitions and idioms people used to deal with stuff like this. Wait, there is such a book. What does it say about the definition of 101? You should really try harder next time, you made this too easy.

Well, this one says "from the numbering of introductory college coursework".

This one says "Denoting an introductory course at college or university in the subject specified."

And this one says "From the practice in US colleges of numbering courses, the initial (introductory) course normally being numbered '101'"

I wonder how many online dictionaries you tried before finding one that didn't include either the other meaning or the etymology.

Trying to find a way to soften the blow to your ego?

What blow? That I know more than you do about definitions and etymology? That's not in the slightest ego-crunching.

Anything is better than simply admitting you made a reading error you attack me for making, eh? Are you man enough to admit you made a simple error?

When I make one, yes.

You're the one who has problems admitting errors. There's another example in my sig.

My emphasis:

And yet, you seemed

"Seemed".

That's your understanding, which doesn't reflect reality. You're also eliding over your use of "biology 101", not merely "101".

But I have better things to do than this. You can carry on without me.

Because his stage name is "Bill Nye the Science Guy", and a lot of uninformed people ignorantly worship anybody labelled "scientist".

Get a room, you two.

Sounds more like the President knows he was wrong and is just trying to save face.

[Sparko]

take this off topic bickering elsewhere.

[Sparko]

Get a room, you two.

or another thread. Please both of you (Roy and LP) take your argument elsewhere. Nobody gives a crap about class terminology. Leave.

Is this an official request? (for the record)
