I gotta weigh in. The news report I saw said that the college told their professors to discuss the incident if the students indicated they needed to talk. That means something different to me than the school telling the professors they were supposed to discuss it with the students. I stand by my initial response. The guy had no business going into this kind of detail with his class - he was an econ professor, for God's sake! If the students needed to talk about it in class to make themselves feel better, I don't think this guy would have fit the bill. I saw him on TV, too. Not the warm, fuzzy kinda guy.
Let's see....I believe this was a private school. So, no matter what we think, they will do as they see fit to protect their school's reputation. After all, if the reputation suffers, student enrollment goes down - ain't no tax support for 'em. We don't get a vote.
