“In a letter sent to colleagues in the department after the sit-in, Rust said students in the demonstration described grammar and spelling corrections he made on their dissertation proposals as a form of ‘micro-aggression.’ ‘I have attempted to be rather thorough on the papers and am particularly concerned that they do a good job with their bibliographies and citations, and these students apparently don’t feel that is appropriate,’ Rust said in the letter. He said the protesters were also responding to a conversation in class between two students about critical race theory that he allowed to take place by not stopping the discussion.”
