Australia is not a country according to Southern New Hampshire University instructor

[Life Long Learning]

I think the college went above and beyond - probably because of the viral negative publicity.  To think this is an isolated event, limited to distance learning, or somehow reflects on a specific institution's own merit is a narrow view of who little oversight instructors & professors have.  Welcome to academic freedom, the land of no oversight.  
In fact, I'd even go out on a limb and say that IF a faculty member EVER had a dept head reading the comments they wrote on a student's paper or "double checking" grades *as a matter of routine*, the college would face a lawsuit.  Only if a student escalated something would there ever be any kind of checking.  The instructor/faculty IS the authority in the classroom.  Students suffer at the whim of faculty everywhere - one more reason to CLEP classes and get out with your degree as fast as possible.

Way worse goes on in B&M Universities.

Spring 1984 in MGMT 322 Human Resource Management at the University of Oregon a white female professor failed every white male student in her class.   The University of Oregon covered it up and did NOTHING for the students.  They did not renew her contract next year.  Fall of 1984 the whole class was almost all white males.....go figure!

This happens at radicalized universities like the Universiy of Oregon.
