So today I called our athletic director at Fresno State to file a complaint against two of his student athletes. These two athletes sit in the back of the class at hold a full on conversation for the entire length of the class. They have been doing this since the beginning of the semester and it finally has gotten to the point when I can no longer concentrate on the professor. They have called me back to make sure they have all the details right, so I'm not sure where it is going to go, but we'll see.
But that leads me to a question. Why is it that student athletes think they are above the rest of the university? Do they really think that because they are on some sort of team that we must treat them like gods? And why do the professors do it, sure they have to excuse them from class for sporting events, but why do they get to turn papers in late, or do things that they would not allow other students to do?
You can bet that at the end of the semester I will be expressing my disappointment in our professor in the teacher evaluation.
