The UW-Madison rejected a complaint by Law School students who asked for discipline against Professor Leonard Kaplan for remarks allegedly insulting the Hmong, according to a document obtained by The Capital Times from an open records request.
Several Asian students were offended by statements they said Kaplan made about Hmong culture during a February lecture. After heated forums about the incident, which Kaplan did not attend, he released a statement saying his comments were misquoted and taken out of context, and that he was trying to illustrate the difficulty nations have in integrating immigrants.
