San Diego students demand reinstatement of fired professor
About 200 students gathered at the Los Angeles CSU board headquarters seeking the rehiring of Economics Assistant Prof. Peter Bohmer, accused last fall of giving lower grades to conservative students. After speeches on racism and poverty, about 150 entered the building for a hearing, as police and guards kept them from confronting Chancellor Glean Dumke. Bohmer, a 27 year old MIT PhD candidate, was fired by Acting President Don Walker but later exonerated after an outside review.
