UW professor accused of Hmong slurs

Law students have accused University of Wisconsin Law Professor Leonard Kaplan of making statements in class that denigrate Hmong people, leading to a public apology from the dean of the Law School at a meeting of more than 100 people.

According to the e-mail that organized the meeting Wednesday night, Kaplan told his legal process class that “Hmong men have no talent other than to kill,” and that second-generation Hmong become criminals, among other statements.
