A Nevada community college is taking steps to remove a tenured math professor after he objected to the softening of math standards at the school.
Lars Jensen, a professor at Truckee Meadows Community College for 22 years, said school officials have mounted a coordinated campaign against him after he protested their attempts to lower school math standards.
He has taken a stand against the state’s new curriculum structure that essentially allows remedial math classes to count for college credit.

“The following year, the college again targeted me and falsely claimed my syllabi to be incomplete and that I missed a training, and for that they gave me another unsatisfactory evaluation for 2020-21.”Jensen noted the two unsatisfactory evaluations allowed President Karin Hilgersom to order a termination hearing.“TMCC cannot comment on Mr. Jensen or any personnel matter,” said Director of Marketing & Communications Kate Kirkpatrick in an email to The College Fix .Kirkpatrick, in a statement that mirrors one previously given to Insider Higher Ed , said academic tenure “is highly valued and recognized as an integral part of the academic process at TMCC, and in the last five […]
