Remember when MRCTV told you about the “rare win” by the University of Cincinnati for reprimanding a professor who failed a student for using the term “biological women” in her assignment?
Well, that win was unfortunately short-lived because the university reportedly withdrew the professor’s reprimand and removed it from the professor’s personnel file.
To backtrack a bit, women and gender studies professor, Melanie Nipper was reprimanded on June 14 for failing student Olivia Krolczyk for using the term “biological women” on a project proposal.
The reprimand was issued by the head of the Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Ashley Currier who stated Nipper’s actions “violated the Campus Free Speech Policy." As a result, Nipper was required to undergo free speech training and submit her course syllabus to the department head for approval.
Nipper filed an appeal five days later claiming the reprimand was “issued in error." Due to some students in her class identifying as “gender non-conforming and/or trans,” Nipper found it “necessary to educate her regarding inclusive language to ensure a safe learning environment for other students.”
Over the weekend, the university decided the reprimand was “issued in error.” However, Nipper must still take the assigned free speech training and submit her course syllabus to the department head.
Olivia Krolczyk, the penalized student, shared her frustration with the university’s latest decision on Twitter.
Professor Melanie Nipper is not a victim. After making the decision to fail me for for using the term “biological women” while writing about the very true fact that men are taking opportunities away from women in athletics, she has attempted to make herself look like the victim…

“Professor Melanie Nipper is not a victim,” Krolczyk starts. “After making the decision to fail me for using the term ‘biological women’ while writing about the very true fact that men are taking opportunities away from women in athletics, she has attempted to make herself look like the victim in the situation.”

“It is not transphobic to acknowledge the reality that a man will never be a woman. It is not transphobic to say that men do not belong in women’s sports. It is not harmful in any way to say ‘biological woman,’” she adds.
“This situation showcases the very real threat that professors with extreme ideologies can pose to students. This situation also showcases the unfortunate reality and direction that society is heading towards.”
Students like Krolczyk, Riley Gaines, and Paula Scanlan are exemplary women who continue to stand on the frontlines in the battle to protect women’s sports at our universities. When these higher education institutions continue to fail us by putting wokeness over an objective education, students like them remind us that not all hope is lost in the next generation of leaders.

Sadly we will likely continue to schism among Christian’s as more and more churches are throwing morality away for the sake of “inclusivity and wokeness.”
