The University of Cincinnati (UC) reversed its punishment of professor Melanie Ripper after she failed student Olivia Krolczyk for using the term “biological women” in her assignment on transgender individuals women’s sports, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Krolczyk submitted a complaint with the university after Nipper gave her a zero, prompting Ashley Currier, head of the Department of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies at UC, to formally reprimand Nipper on June 14. After Nipper filed an appeal request and attended an on-campus meeting with administrators, the university decided the reprimand was “issued in error” due to Nipper’s argument that failing Krolczyk aligned with UC’s free speech policy, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported.

UC’s free speech policy states professors’ judgment must “reasonably related to a legitimate pedagogical purpose, such as classroom rules enacted by teachers.”

The reprimand will be removed from Nipper’s personnel file, but Nipper will be required to complete training about the university’s free speech policy and submit her syllabi for the coming school year to her department head, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

The initial incident went viral after Krolczyk released a TikTok video discussing how she was given zero points for a section of her project for using the term “biological women” in her Gender in Popular Culture course.

“UC is affirming that professors will have no consequences for failing students with dissenting opinions… they will not uphold a student’s rights to free speech and will take no action to ensure that the educators hired are acting in a professional manner,” Krolcyzk said in a statement to the Cincinnati Enquirer about the reversal.

“University of Cincinnati’s decision to rescind this reprimand is an injustice to students everywhere. UC is just affirming that professors will suffer no consequences for failing students with dissenting opinions,” Krolczyk said via TikTok.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It’s hard to believe it’s really happening, but it is. Male athletes pretend to be females, dominate their sports, and are thereby rapidly destroying women’s competitive sports worldwide. Convicted male criminals suddenly claim to be transgender so they can be confined in a women’s prison and sexually abuse the female inmates there. Men claiming to be female likewise invade women’s locker rooms, bathrooms, schools, dormitories, sororities, shelters, spas and social organizations – and in the process steal women’s scholarships, advancement, honors and myriad other opportunities.

Meanwhile, transgender groomers and recruiters in schools and on social media platforms like TikTok are continually feeding and expanding the current “mass hysteria” craze that has already led countless teen girls to take testosterone and undergo double mastectomies in a pathetic effort to become boys. No wonder the CDC reports 3 in 5 teen girls say they feel “persistently sad or hopeless” and almost 1 in 3 say they have seriously considered committing suicide.

All of this on top of the radical left’s renewed obsession with killing women’s unborn babies via abortion.

The “woke” left’s maniacal attack on women and girls, virtually unreported by the rest of the media, is the entire focus of the sensational June issue of WND’s critically acclaimed WHISTLEBLOWER magazine, titled “THE LEFT’S TOTAL WAR ON WOMEN.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
