UCSD closes website over slur
Professor’s posting triggers backlash, prompts apology
By Pat Flynn, UNION-TRIBUNE
Monday, May 23, 2011 at 8:14 p.m.
LA JOLLA — University of California San Diego officials have taken down a
chemistry professor’s web page that used a term offensive to Chinese people
and issued an apology.
A web page for Clifford Kubiak, a professor of chemistry and biochemistry,
included a set of purported “lab rules,” apparently meant to be humorous.
The first three “rules” were: “no Disney music,” “don’t be that guy”
and “if you can’t turn on the instrument, you shouldn’t use it.”
No. 4 was: “Don’t believe anything the Chinaman says.”
Wide knowledge of the web page developed over the weekend after its contents
were posted on an Internet forum for Chinese-speaking academics, prompting
a flurry of comment around the world.
“At least in the U.S., the word ‘Chinaman’ is usually considered
derogatory,” Mingyu Guo, a lecturer at the University of Liverpool in
England, wrote in an email to The San Diego Union-Tribune. “Usage of this
term is strongly discouraged by Asian American organizations.
“At this day and age, it is incredible to see this kind of racial
discrimination still exists, so I brought it to your attention.”
UCSD spokesman Jeff Gattas said the web page was taken down sometime over
the weekend, as soon as chemistry department leaders became aware of it.
Suresh Subramani, UCSD’s executive vice chancellor for academic affairs,
and Mark Thiemens, dean of physical sciences, issued a statement late Monday
afternoon:
“On behalf of President Mark Yudof, Chancellor Marye Anne Fox and the UC
San Diego community we are truly disappointed by the insensitive and
offensive language that appeared on the website of Professor Clifford Kubiak
. This language does not conform to our commitment to the UCSD Principles of
Community.
“We have communicated today with Professor Kubiak, who has ensured that the
offending language has been removed, and he will provide a formal, written
apology. This apology will be posted on Professor Kubiak’s website.
“Further, we have asked the Office for the Prevention of Harassment and
Discrimination to review the matter. Please accept our sincere apologies on
behalf of the university.”
Kubiak, who was chairman of his UCSD department from 2002 to 2006, did not
respond Monday to requests for comment. | s*********5

发帖数: 5637 | 4 今天打电话给UCSD的朋友，他们好像还不太清楚这件事。她还告诉我UCSD三分之一的组
成部分是亚裔。
看到cloudless的回复，我觉得这个教授明明就是明知故犯。既然本案证据确凿，我们
应该继续到底，然后让更多的媒体注意到这件事情，让美国人知道不光n-word不能用，
c-word也不能用。 | b**********n

note that the statement issued by UCSD was not an official apology. | s*********5
发帖数: 5637 | 6 这下面的不叫道歉信叫什么？UT文章的倒数第二段不有‘sincere apologies'吗？
你在试验大家的容忍度吗？要像芙蓉姐姐那样出名，是要奔一奔自己的样子的，而不是躲在鲨鱼的头像下面和我们玩幽默。

这个肯定算是校方的apology了，下面就差当事人的正式apology了，如果校方在声明中
声称的会被该教授忠实履行的话。
是躲在鲨鱼的头像下面和我们玩幽默。

校方不痛不痒出来道歉是不够的。 |
