Student: Response to professor who called police not enough

(Associated Press) A black college student in Indiana is disappointed that his university is not acknowledging that a professor discriminated against him when he called the police on the student for refusing to change seats in class.

Ball State University marketing professor Shaheen Borna called the police on student Sultan “Mufasa” Benson for declining to change seats in class on Tuesday.

University President Geoffrey S. Mearns said Thursday that Borna committed “a gross error of judgment” and had “an unwarranted overreaction.”

But Benson, who’s black, believes that if he hadn’t been calm during the situation, he could’ve been hurt or killed by the police.
