Re: Orin Kerr
Orin Kerr was quoted about a study that sought to determine if a grader's political affiliation resulted in grading bias. "It's common for conservative students at predominantly liberal campuses to feel that it's better for them to be quiet," especially in class, said Kerr. "We need good studies on this."
