It’s probably just politics, but it looks to me like the GPA disparity between white and minority students is another issue entirely. This article making it the primary focus felt really sloppy and forced. Can’t we just report that professors with shitty attitudes affect students grades negatively and leave it at that? That’s what seems to be the common issue here, let’s have an inclusive solution rather than only focusing on one party.

Instead that article talks about some p=0.041/0.049 (!!) bs.
