UC San Diego administrators have publicly apologized to students for the "disrespectful and racist remarks" that a lecturer recently made during an undergraduate class in chemistry.
The incident occurred last week and involved Robert Ternansky, a veteran lecturer who was bothered by noise that appeared to come from a hallway outside his classroom.
A roughly 60-second video of the class, which UCSD was recording for future use by students, shows Ternansky walking into the hallway and saying "Sí, sí señor. Ándale, ándale. Arriba, arriba."
