I am not sure that it really is a teacher, let alone professor's professional responsibility to have to deal with the student's lack of basic human decency. I don't know what happened in that class and I also don't know if his statement about "a few" not deserving being flunked is accurate, but it does not change the fact of the matter that a teacher / professor / lecturer's only job is to teach and educate. Their job is not crowd control or behavior modification therapy. I don't see any way how A&M is not negligent in performing their duty to assure an environment to allow him to perform his contractual obligation to teach the students that are there to learn. Especially if he requested that the disruptive students leave and / or be removed from the class, he and the affected students that were possibly not contributing to the disruption should really be suing the university for contract non-performance. If you go to a university and expect education and instruction and the school does not perform it's duty to assure that happens, they are in breach of contract. There doesn't seem to be any real difference from any other service contract.
