Professor Polls Class on What to do About Pregnant Student

KXTV-TV:

DAVIS, CA - A UC-Davis veterinary professor is under investigation in connection with an email about grading students.

Dr. Edward Feldman, who chairs the Medicine and Epidemiology Department at the School of Veterinary Medicine, is accused of telling student leaders to email members of the third-year class about a female student who was pregnant.

A student claimed the correspondence said, "One of our classmates recently gave birth and will be out of class for an unknown period of time. This means she will undoubtedly miss one, or more, or all quizzes in VMD 444. Dr. Feldman is not sure how to handle this and has requested the class give input and vote. He has provided us with six options on which to vote and is open to any other ideas you may have."
